Fugazi Bank Building
Fugazi Bank Building, Historic bank building in Jackson Square Historic District, San Francisco, United States.
The Fugazi Bank Building is a three-story structure with white terra-cotta cladding and a classical facade located at the intersection of Columbus Avenue and Montgomery Street. Its wedge-shaped footprint and refined neoclassical details make it a distinctive presence in the Jackson Square Historic District.
Built in 1909 by Giovanni Fugazi, the structure initially housed the Banca Popolare Operaia Italiana before later becoming a headquarters for Transamerica Corporation. This role as a financial center shaped the economic significance of the North Beach neighborhood for decades.
This structure marks the entrance to North Beach and forms an architectural pair with the neighboring Colombo Building, framing the gateway to Columbus Avenue.
The building sits at the corner of Columbus Avenue and Montgomery Street and is easily accessible on foot. Its prominent corner location makes it simple to spot and provides an excellent starting point for exploring the adjacent Jackson Square and North Beach neighborhoods.
The structure underwent significant modifications before 1914, with its original cupola removed and a third story added that altered its wedge-like form. These changes reflected the economic expansion and evolving needs of the early 1900s.
