San Francisco lost its original city hall in the 1906 earthquake. The design of the present city hall is that of San Francisco architect Arthur Brown Jr. The dome of the Beaux-Arts steel frame building is sheathed in Medera County Granite and modeled on the Dome des Invalides in Paris, the burial place of Napoleon.

It was a pleasure to see this project listed, however, the architect should be Bakewell and Brown--Athur Brown, Jr was the partner in charge. I was the partner in charge of the massive renovation/restoration undertaken after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake
