It is one of a matching pair of warehouses at Front and Vallejo Streets.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the building and its twin are the oldest surviving warehouses in San Francisco and the only ones dating from the gold rush era. It illustrates the city's early mercantile development, its waterfront landfill and infrastructure, and its early warehouse architecture. It also shows the rebuilding after the 1906 earthquake fire, since it was restored to its original form using surviving brick walls.","narrative":"Built in 1855 at the southwest corner of Front and Vallejo Streets in San Francisco, this brick warehouse was erected for Scottish commission merchant Daniel Gibb and his firm, which used it for both sales and storage. It was one of a matching pair, built when the site was at the edge of the water on newly filled land. The architect and builder are unknown. The 1906 earthquake fire gutted the building, but it was restored to nearly its original appearance using the surviving walls, and the seam between 1855 and 1906 brickwork is still visible. Later it served as a bonded and wine warehouse and then as a bean-sorting and storage facility until about 1972, when it became offices with seismic strengthening added inside. The nomination treats it, with its twin, as the oldest surviving warehouses in the city and the only ones from the gold rush era, reflecting early merchant trade and post-fire rebuilding.","period_of_significance":"1855-1906","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid 19th century; Other: Brick Warehouse","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Converted from warehouse to professional office use in 1972; now rented to three professional tenants, one per floor.
