San Francisco Hall of Justice
The Thomas J. Cahill Hall of Justice in San Francisco is the third building to serve as the headquarters of the San Francisco Police Department and San Francisco County Superior Court. It was constructed between 1958 and 1960, in the block bounded by Sixth, Seventh, and Bryant.
Why it's on the map
It was heavily damaged following the April 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.
After the third Hall of Justice was completed in 1960, operations moved there and the old Hall of Justice was demolished in 1968; a hotel, the Hilton San Francisco Financial District, was completed in 1971 and currently stands on this site.
The first Hall of Justice (1900–06) was opposite Portsmouth Square, at the southeast corner of Kearny and Washington, occupying a building originally built in 1851 as the Jenny Lind Theatre and purchased by the city in 1852 for use as the City Hall.
Work was completed in 1900 and the first official business was conducted there on September 19, although the upper floor jail remained unfinished; despite this, the Call wrote "the building is the best San Francisco ever had in its history".
