Although San Francisco's City Hall building was badly wrecked by the earthquake, portions of the old building, including the Hall of Records, were occupied by City Offices until 1909. In 1909, corruption-weary San Francisco voters turned down an $8 million bond issue to rebuild City Hall. From 1912 to 1915, City Hall was temporarily located at 1231 Market Street (on the south side of Market, near Eighth). This seven-story reinforced concrete building, which cost approximately $600,000 to build, was designed by San Francisco architects Wright, Rushforth & Cahill. The building is 200’ along Market Street, 165’ deep, 102’ high (above the sidewalk, although the building also contains a basement). An article in The Architect and Engineer, January 1911 stated: “The building is so planned that it may eventually be used as a first-class hotel, but for the present the interior arrangements have been specially designed for the accommodation of various City departments which are to occupy the building when completed.” As The Architect and Engineer suggested, the building was later used as the Hotel Whitcomb. The building was badly damaged during the 1989 earthquake, but was repaired and remains a hotel. After several name changes throughout the years, it is called the Whitcomb again.
