After two years of restoration, the façade of the seven-story Hallidie Building on Sutter Street in San Francisco has regained its claim as one of the city’s, and the country’s, most significant architectural landmarks. Built in 1918, the historic building is owned by Edward J. Conner and Herbert P. McLaughlin.
“The Hallidie Building is known the world over as a progenitor of modern architectural design,” Conner stated in an announcement of the project’s completion. “We owed it to the city of San Francisco to restore this façade to its original glory.”
