TheHallidie Building is an office building in theFinancial District ofSan Francisco, California, at 130 Sutter Street, betweenMontgomery Street andKearny Street. Designed by architectWillis Polk and named in honor of San Francisco cable car pioneerAndrew Smith Hallidie, it opened in 1918. Though credited as the first American building to featureglasscurtain walls,[3] it was in fact predated byLouis Curtiss'sBoley Clothing Company building inKansas City, Missouri, completed in 1909.[citation needed]
The building underwent a two-year restoration, completed in April 2013,[4] after its sheet metal friezes, cornices, balconies, and fire escapes were deemed unsafe by the City of San Francisco's Department of Building Inspection.[5]
The San Francisco chapter of theAmerican Institute of Architects opened the Center for Architecture + Design in the street-level retail space, which predates the rest of the building, adding a gallery, lecture hall, and cafe in 2023.[6][7] The building also houses Charles M. Salter Associates, Inc.[citation needed]
It houses the headquarters ofFandom.[8]
