Inscription. This classic landmark building was built in 1914 as the headquarters for the San Francisco Call, a leading newspaper of its time.

This building was restored and re-dedicated as modern homes and shops by a committed team of developers, architects, contractors, engineers and craftsmen. It is our wish that all who live and work here in the 21st Century and beyond will continue to love and appreciate The Montgomery as much as we did.
