"This is the second oldest surviving building in the complex. It is built in a modified Renaissance Revival style, more suited to the simplified tastes of both California and an industrial client. Few office buildings from this period survive and fewer still offer this much rich study in red brick. Architect George Percey (1847-1900) was known for his interest in reinforced concrete. In its day, this building was touted as a “modern, fire-proof” structure. Few early examples of this use and construction survive in San Francisco. The finely-detailed Renaissance portico features banded rustication, engaged Ionic columns and a projecting cornice over an arched opening."
