History
The Golden Era Building was constructed in 1852, built on the foundations of an 1849 structure that had been destroyed in the San Francisco Fire of 1851.[4] The cast iron pillars on the exterior of the building are from a remodel in 1892 and were created locally by the Vulcan Iron Works.[2]
In 1852, on the ground floor the space initially was occupied by Vernon Hall, which was rented out by fraternal societies and theatre troupes.[6] The building gets its name from the 19th-century literary newspaper, The Golden Era, which occupied the second floor of the building from December 1852 until approximately 1854.[2][7]
Other tenants of the building included Thomas Day's gas fixtures store (around 1863);[8][9] and John Monahan and Co., a printing company that did work for the San Francisco Railway and North Pacific Railway (around 1858).[1] The ground floor was later occupied by a crockery shop and a Chinese broom factory.[6][10] The second floor was later occupied by artist studios.[6]
