Goodman Building, Residential and commercial landmark in Cathedral Hill, San Francisco, United States.

The Goodman Building is a mixed-use structure in Italian style, featuring detailed facade work and balanced proportions along Geary Boulevard. Commercial spaces occupy the ground level while residential units fill the upper floors.

Built around 1860 for French-born Joseph Emeric, possibly as four shorter Victorian houses, the building was sold in 1899 or 1900 to Abraham and Sarah Goodman of New York, who remodeled it. After the 1906 earthquake and fire, a housing shortage led to its expansion into a residential hotel, possibly by combining two Victorians, though records are lacking. After World War II it housed returning G.I.s.

The building became a gathering place for artists during the 1960s, with musicians and photographers making their homes and studios in its upper levels. This creative community shaped the character of the place during that transformative decade.

The building stands at 1117 Geary Boulevard in the Cathedral Hill neighborhood, and its ground floor has housed small retail shops since the early years. The facade is best viewed from the sidewalk across the street. The building is a San Francisco Designated Landmark, listed since February 28, 1975.

The building is a San Francisco Designated Landmark since February 28, 1975, listed for its cultural value as an artist community rather than for architectural significance. In the 1960s and early 1970s it housed the Goodman Group artist commune, and singer Janis Joplin lived there in the 1960s.
