The Lower Nob Hill Apartment Hotel District is well-preserved. Of the 331 buildings in the district, only 35 have been altered to such an extent that they do not contribute to the historic character of the district. One example is this building at 729 Bush Street which was designed by C. A. Meussdorffer to house a store. The façade has been sheathed in stuccostone cladding, Only the parapet is original.

The Lower Nob Hill Apartment Hotel District is located in downtown San Francisco on the south slope of Nob Hill. The district is bounded by Bush Street on the north, the Financial District on the east, the Tenderloin on the south, and the Polk-Van Ness corridor on the west.
It is a close-packed district of residential buildings with a height of three to seven stories. The buildings are unequaled in quantity and quality anywhere in California except possibly in the Tenderloin. For blockfront after blockfront, the apartments and hotels march along at nearly even cornice lines, breasting similar bay windows and fire escapes above the sidewalk steps and store fronts, agreeing on the form of dress and the vocabulary of ornament.
Most were constructed between 1906 and 1925, giving them a remarkable consistency of style. Most remain nearly intact. There are almost no new buildings.
It has always been a residential district - apartments, residential hotels and apartment hotels with a few office conversions. It remains what it was when constructed a century ago.

The view from Dashiell Hammett Street. The
highrise is the Medical Dental Building on Sutter
Street.
Originally an apartment hotel and stores, this six-story building was designed by Righetti & Headman. It is clad in stucco and galvanized iron with Renaissance ornamentation.
The building faces Dashiell Hammett Street, a one-block alley that runs between Bush Street and Pine Street.
When we photographed the building in November 2019, it housed apartments.
Architects Righetti & Headman designed this five-story apartment building. The design includes tapestry brick, galvanized iron cladding and Renaissance ornament
When we photographed the building in November 2019, it was still an apartment building doing business under the name Angelus Apartments.
The highrise behind the building to the left is the Medical Dental Building on Sutter Street.
The building to the right is a modern building which does not contribute to the historic district. When we photographed it, it was doing business as the Orchard Hotel.
This eight-story building was designed by Cunningham & Politeo as a residential hotel. It is clad in stucco, brick and galvanized iron with Art Nouveau ornamentation.
The dark highrise in the background is 555 California Street (formerly the Bank of America Center) which was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River when it was completed in 1969.
When we photographed the former Colonial Hotel, it was doing business as the Orchard Vintage Hotel.
The Kenilworth Apartments building was designed by architects Sutton & Weeks. The five-story building is clad in rough stucco and clinker brick with ornamentation in the Spanish Colonial Revival style.
The Kenilworth Apartments building, as conceived by the architects with an imposing look-out tower at each corner, reminds me of the Alcazar in Toledo, Spain, and other fortified buildings in Iberia. The impression of impregnability must have been comforting one year after the neighborhood had been destroyed by the 1906 Earthquake and Fire.
This painted brick and cast concrete building was designed by architect A. A. Cantin in the Beaux Arts style. It is the only building in the district known to have survived the 1906 Earthquake and Fire.
