Photo of the former Call building from Frank G.   “McDonald and Linforth headquartered in this handsome building on New Montgomery Street in San Francisco.For many years it housed the editorial offices of the (now defunct) San Francisco Call newspaper after their iconic building was badly damaged in the 1906 earthquake and fire… hence the reference to the “Call Building” in the correspondence. Beginning in 2005 this building was converted to 107 high end residential units.”
