  1. 1907

    The Robins Building was built to the design of T. Paterson Ross — four storeys of brick with an unglazed terra cotta surface, a two-part vertical composition with large three-part Chicago-style windows and stylised Corinthian colonnettes on the upper levels. It stood here until the 222 Kearny Street office tower took its place in the mid-1980s.

    The Robins Building stood here until the 222 Kearny Street office tower took its place in the mid-1980s. the Foundation for San Francisco's Architectural Heritage rated the Robins Building "C" in the 1979 downtown survey it published as Splendid Survivors — the third of its four grades, for buildings that count for their scale and materials and for the way they hold a streetfront together.
