San Francisco City Hall (1915 Beaux-Arts capitol building)
By Seeker
San Francisco City Hall at 1 Dr Carlton B Goodlett Place was completed in 1915 to replace the pre‑1906 City Hall destroyed in the earthquake and fire. The Beaux‑Arts building serves as the seat of municipal government and features a large masonry dome, which is taller than the dome of the U.S. Capitol. Its construction represents an early 20th‑century civic infrastructure project intended to symbolize the city’s recovery and permanence after 1906.
