The Palace Hotel
The Palace Hotel designed by Trowbridge & Livingston c. 1909 at 2 New Montgomery Street in San Francisco, California. The hotel replaced the c. 1875 Palace Hotel which was demolished after the 1906 earthquake. In 1954 it was sold to Sheraton Hotels and until 1989 operated as the Sheraton-Palace Hotel. They have since dropped the Sheraton brand and it is once again the Palace Hotel. Click HERE to see the Palace Hotel on google street view.
