History

The original 10-story, 47 m (154 ft) structure was designed by Burnham and Root/D.H. Burnham & Company completed 1892; and after surviving the 1906 earthquake, was restored by Willis Polk in 1908, who oversaw subsequent additions in 1914 and 1918.^[8] Named for early San Francisco financial tycoon, Darius Ogden Mills, it is regarded as the city's second skyscraper, after the Chronicle Building (1890).^[9]

Completed in 1932 at 220 Bush Street, Mills Tower is a 22-story, 92 m (302 ft) annex designed by George W. Kelham and Lewis Parsons Hobart.

The Mills Building is home to several major financial firms, including SeatMe, Pocket Gems, New York Stock Exchange, and Newedge.^[10]
