Mutual Savings Bank Building
historic place
The Mutual Savings Bank Building, a historic place in San Francisco, was completed in 1902. Architect William F. Curlett designed the 12-story structure in the French Renaissance Revival style. It was one of San Francisco's earliest skyscrapers. The building notably survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, sustaining moderate structural damage, with its interior gutted. Architect Curlett oversaw the repairs. In 1964, a 12-story annex was added. The architect, Charles W. Moore, convinced owners to preserve the original building. A historical plaque, dedicated in July 1964, recognized its survival of the 1906 disaster and its significance. The Mutual Savings Bank Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. It remains an example of early 20th-century San Francisco architecture.
