Hobart Building, Commercial skyscraper on Market Street, San Francisco, United States.

The Hobart Building features 21 floors with a distinctive lozenge-shaped tower rising from its center and French Renaissance Revival architectural elements throughout the structure.

Willis Polk designed this building in 1914 as part of San Francisco's reconstruction following the 1906 earthquake that transformed the architectural landscape of the city.

The structure represents the early 20th-century commercial architecture movement in San Francisco, combining classical elements with vertical urban development principles.

Located at 582 Market Street, the Hobart Building maintains its original commercial function and stands near the Montgomery Street BART station for convenient access.

The building earned recognition as San Francisco Landmark 162 and features a three-part vertical division consisting of base, shaft, and capital sections.
