Many different styles of San Francisco architecture are shown in this aerial photograph of a portion of the financial district. At the left in the foreground is 140 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco's first skyscraper. Built in the art deco architectural style, 140 New Montgomery served as an office building for over 80 years until it was converted into residential condominiums. Directly behind 140 New Montgomery is 33 New Montgomery Street, a 20 story high rise office building designed in the post-modern architectural style. The building wraps around the Bank of America Building at 623 Market Street, which is not as tall and not visible in this aerial photograph. Prominent features of 33 New Montgomery Street are the large clock tower and spike at the top of the building. Directly behind 33 New Montgomery Street is the Hunter-Dulin Building, located at 111 Sutter Street. Built in a Renaissance revival architectural style, this 308 foot high rise is San Francisco's only building with Romanesque and French Chateau ornamentation. Directly to the right of 33 New Montgomery Street in this aerial photograph is the Hobart Building designed by John Willis, San Francisco's leading architect during the rebuilding of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake and fire. Designed in the beaux-arts classical revival architectural style with Renaissance/Baroque ornamentation, the building was completed in less than one year. Serving as a background to the Hobart building is 44 Montgomery Street, a modernist 43 floor high rise designed by architects John Graham and Associates. To the right of 44 Montgomery Street is 595 Market Street, another skyscraper designed in the modernist architectural style by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Just a very small portion of the post modern style KPMG Building, 55 Second Street, is visible on the far right portion of the frame of this aerial photograph.
