It has a triangular shape reminiscent of the Flatiron Building, with its tip at the meeting point of Market Street, O’Farrell Street, and Grant Ave. It is a San Francisco Designated Landmark. The building was designed by William Curlett and built in 1908 by James D. Phelan on the place of the first, original Phelan Building, damaged by the 1906 earthquake and fire. ==The original Phelan Building== The first Phelan Building was constructed in 1881 by James Phelan, the father of James D. Phelan. It was a 6-story, bay-windowed, mansard-roofed flatiron.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Phelan Building History )〕 Despite being advertised to be “thoroughly fire and earthquake proof”, the building was badly damaged in the 1906 post-earthquake fire, and its ruins were subsequently dynamited on April 20, 1906.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1906 Earthquake: Fire Fighting - Presidio of San Francisco (U.S. National Park Service) )〕 Phelan Building after the earthquake on April 20, 1906.jpg|Ruins of the original Phelan Building 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phelan Building」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
