The excerpt also covers its architects and the decorative sculpture, some of it attributed to sculptor Leo Lentelli. The criteria boxes and the full statement of significance are not legible in the excerpt.","narrative":"Rising 24 stories at the southwest corner of Sutter and Montgomery Streets, this steel and concrete office tower has been part of San Francisco's Financial District skyline since 1927. Its principal facades are clad in buff terra cotta, while secondary elevations use gray coated brick. A two-story arched entry on Sutter Street is framed by carved pilasters, medallions representing the Four Seasons and a relief panel of Mercury. Above a granite base, the shaft carries lead-coated copper spandrel panels showing mermaids, sea horses and winged creatures. The upper floors step back beneath a gabled Mansard roof of glazed brown tile, topped with patinated copper cresting. The building has been very well maintained, with changes limited mostly to ground-floor storefront sash. It is noted as a fine example of 1920s skyscraper design, and some of its sculptural work is attributed to Leo Lentelli, though the nomination says that attribution is not verified. It remains in office use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Schultze & Weaver, with Heitschmidt associated with the project (terra cotta by Gladding, McBean & Company)","architectural_style":"Late 19th & 20th Century Revival: French Renaissance Revival; Late Gothic Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Extraordinarily well maintained over seventy years; only alterations are some ground-floor storefront sash replaced for tenants.
