New Montgomery & Mission
Elevated view northeast to Wells Fargo and Co. Express building at New Montgomery and Mission was built in 1888-1889 to designs by architects Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge of Boston, successor firm of Henry Hobson Richardson, and also architects of Stanford University. Wells Fargo Express moved here from its old quarters (since 1876) at Sansome and Halleck streets; it had previously been at California and Montgomery. The building shown here was added to in 1902 (2 additional stories and some facade revision) and became known then as the Crossley Building, destroyed in the 1906 catastrophe. (WMK)
