The 133-metre (436 ft) building was completed in 1927 and had 32 floors as well as the city's first indoor parking garage.

  • El Russ Building es una torre de oficinas neogótica ubicada en el Distrito Financiero de la ciudad de San Francisco, en el estado de California (Estados Unidos). El edificio de 133 metros (m) se completó en 1927 y tenía 32 pisos, así como el primer estacionamiento interior de la ciudad. Fue el más alto de San Francisco de 1927 a 1964 y uno de los más destacados, junto con su "gemelo" de 133 m, el al sur.​ Una vez terminado, era lo suficientemente icónico como para que el arquitecto e ingeniero escribiera: “En casi todas las grandes ciudades hay un edificio que, debido a su tamaño, la belleza del diseño arquitectónico y el carácter de su uso y ocupación, ha llegado a tipificar la ciudad misma. Hoy el Russ ocupa este lugar en San Francisco. Por su tamaño y ubicación y por el carácter de sus inquilinos, el edificio se convierte de hecho en el 'Centro del Progreso Occidental'”.​ Sin embargo, la manhattanización de 1960 a 1990 ha envuelto la torre en un caparazón de rascacielos, eliminando su prominencia. El crítico de arquitectura del San Francisco Chronicle, John King, describió el Russ como "la encarnación del romance de la era del jazz, un bloque completo de mampostería ornamentada con sabor gótico que asciende en etapas irregulares desde Montgomery Street con un salto y luego una carrera hacia una corona central".​ La torre es un Hito Histórico de California.​ (es)

It was the tallest building in San Francisco from 1927 to 1964 and one of the most prominent, along with its 133-metre (436 ft) "twin", the PacBell Building to the south. Upon completion, the building was iconic enough that Architect and Engineer wrote, “In nearly every large city there is one building that because of its size, beauty of architectural design and character of its use and occupancy, has come to typify the city itself ... Today the Russ Building takes this place in San Francisco. By its size and location and by the character of its tenants the building becomes indeed—'The Center of Western Progress'.” However, Manhattanization from 1960 to 1990 has shrouded the tower in a shell of skyscrapers, removing the tower's prominence. The San Francisco Chronicle's architecture critic John King described the Russ Building as "the embodiment of Jazz Age romance, a full block of ornate Gothic-flavored masonry that ascends in jagged stages from Montgomery Street with a leap and then a scramble to a central crown". The tower is a California Historical Landmark. Until the emergence of Sand Hill Road in the 1980s, many of the largest venture capital firms held offices in the Russ Building. (en)
