Golden Era Building, formerly known as the Call Building, [2] is a historic commercial building built in 1852 during the California Gold Rush, and located at 732-734 Montgomery Street in the Jackson Square area of San Francisco, California. [3] [4]
The Golden Era Building has been listed as a San Francisco Designated Landmark since March 9, 1969; [5] and is part of the Jackson Square Historic District which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. [6]
The Golden Era Building was constructed in 1852, built on the foundations of an 1849 structure that had been destroyed in the San Francisco Fire of 1851. [5] The cast iron pillars on the exterior of the building are from a remodel in 1892 and were created locally by the Vulcan Iron Works. [3]
In 1852, on the ground floor the space initially was occupied by Vernon Hall, which was rented out by fraternal societies and theatre troupes. [7] The building gets its name from the 19th-century literary newspaper, The Golden Era, which occupied the second floor of the building from December 1852 until approximately 1854. [3] [8]
Other tenants of the building included Thomas Day's gas fixtures store (around 1863); [9] [10] and John Monahan and Co., a printing company that did work for the San Francisco Railway and North Pacific Railway (around 1858). [2] The ground floor was later occupied by a crockery shop and a Chinese broom factory. [7] [11] The second floor was later occupied by artist studios. [7]
