Old United States Mint
City of San Francisco
San Francisco, California

ARG prepared a Historic Structure Report for the second United States Mint in San Francisco, a designated National Historic Landmark. This 1874 Classically inspired building, designed by Alfred B. Mullett, Assistant Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, is often cited as one of the last major monuments of the Greek Revival. Of national significance for its architecture and role in government and economics, the Old Mint played a pivotal role in the financial history of the United States during a 63-year period. A survivor of the 1906 earthquake, the Mint is also important on the local level as the oldest monumental stone building in San Francisco.

The project included historical research and overview of the building, identification of significant features and spaces, assessment of building and materials conditions, and identification of appropriate future uses and treatments for the building.
