   The French Bank Building was named as one of six buildings in the Hallidie Building Block - Retail Historic District, which the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board recommended to the City Planning Commission for designation as a city historic district. The district was centred on the Hallidie Building at 130 Sutter Street and covered that side of the block; it also lay within the larger Retail-Shopping Historic District that Heritage had identified as eligible for the National Register.
