Russ Building

The Russ Building is a Neo-Gothic office tower located in the Financial District of San Francisco, California.

It was designed by architect George W. Kelham, who was responsible for many of San Francisco's other prominent high-rise buildings in the 1920s.

[6][7] The 133-metre (436 ft) building was completed in 1927 and had 32 floors as well as the city's first indoor parking garage.

The San Francisco Chronicle's architecture critic John King described the Russ Building as "the embodiment of Jazz Age romance, a full block of ornate Gothic-flavored masonry that ascends in jagged stages from Montgomery Street with a leap and then a scramble to a central crown".

[3] Until the emergence of Sand Hill Road in the 1980s, many of the largest venture capital firms held offices in the Russ Building.
