History

Mills Building

Burnham & Company completed 1892; and after surviving the 1906 earthquake, was restored by Willis Polk in 1908, who oversaw subsequent additions in 1914 and 1918.[8] Named for early San Francisco financial tycoon, Darius Ogden Mills, it is regarded as the city's second skyscraper, after the Chronicle Building (1890).[9]

Completed in 1932 at 220 Bush Street, Mills Tower is a 22-story, 92 m (302 ft) annex designed by

Lewis Parsons Hobart
