The Mills Building and Tower is a two-building complex following the Chicago school with Romanesque design elements in the Financial District of San Francisco, California. The structures were declared San Francisco Designated Landmark #76,[6] and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[5][7]
History[]
The original 10-story, 47 m (154 ft) structure was designed by Burnham and Root/D.H. Burnham & Company completed 1892; and after surviving the 1906 earthquake, was restored by Willis Polk in 1908, who oversaw subsequent additions in 1914 and 1918.[8] Named for early San Francisco financial tycoon, Darius Ogden Mills, it is regarded as the city's second skyscraper, after the Chronicle Building (1890).[9]
Completed in 1932 at 220 Bush Street, Mills Tower is a 22-story, 92 m (302 ft) annex designed by George W. Kelham and Lewis Parsons Hobart.
The Mills Building is home to several major financial firms, including SeatMe, , New York Stock Exchange, and Newedge.[10]
