The Montgomery, High-rise building in Financial District, San Francisco, USA
The Montgomery is a residential high-rise at 74 New Montgomery Street, designed by the Reid Brothers in 1914 as the offices of The San Francisco Call. The building was converted in 2005 into 107 residences, with new windows matching the original look and a seismic retrofit of the foundation.
The Montgomery was designed by the Reid Brothers and completed in 1914 at 74 New Montgomery Street. It became the headquarters and offices of The San Francisco Call after the newspaper's own Call Building was damaged in the great fire. The site was chosen for its central location, and from 1914 to 1950 the building housed the Call and at times rival publications. From 1950 to 2005 it served as commercial office space, and in 2005 developers converted it into 107 residences.
The building's name comes from its address on New Montgomery Street, where from 1914 to 1950 it housed The San Francisco Call and at times rival newspapers, making the block a regional media hub. Visitors can still read the newspaper-era name on the facade.
The building is centrally located with good access to public transportation and nearby services throughout the area. Visitors can explore the neighborhood on foot and easily find additional attractions and businesses in the surrounding blocks.
The building's 2005 conversion kept its 1914 facade: developers fitted new windows designed to preserve the classic aesthetics and added a seismic retrofit to the foundation. The interior was rebuilt into 107 residences with new wiring, including CAT 5.
