Bank of California Building, Financial skyscraper in Financial District, San Francisco, United States.
The Bank of California Building at 400 California Street rises 312 feet with stone facades, large windows, and ornamental cornices across 22 floors.
The building emerged in 1908 after the 1906 earthquake, marking the revival of San Francisco's financial district as one of its first commercial structures.
Architects Walter Danforth Bliss and William Baker Faville created this Greco-Roman structure, drawing inspiration from the Knickerbocker Trust Company in New York.
The structure houses commercial offices and underwent renovations in 1967 with the addition of a modern tower that maintained design elements from the original building.
The building received its landmark designation on September 3, 1968, and celebrated its centennial in 2008 with a rededication ceremony by Union Bank executives.
