Southern Pacific Building, Historical skyscraper in Financial District, San Francisco, United States.
The Southern Pacific Building rises twelve floors high with a distinctive Italian Renaissance design featuring Roman brick and terra cotta architectural elements.
Constructed in 1917 as the headquarters for Southern Pacific Railroad, this structure marked the western United States' tallest steel-framed building at completion.
The building's marble-clad lobby and ornamental plaster ceiling demonstrate the architectural preferences of early twentieth-century commercial buildings in San Francisco.
Located at 1 Market Street, the building contains 420,000 square feet of office space and connects directly to public transportation networks.
The building's E-shaped layout maximizes natural light exposure, while eight original elevator guide rails remain preserved from its 1917 construction.
