Landmark 89
Site of Parrott Granite Block
Northwest Corner of Montgomery and California Streets
Financial District
1852-1926

This Site Has No Commemorative Plaque

The Parrott Block was erected in 1852 by John Parrott, an importer and banker. The three-story building, built by Chinese labor, was of granite blocks brought from China. The 1906 earthquake and fire did little damage to the building, which soon thereafter reopened for business. In 1926 it was demolished to make way for the Financial Center Building.
