Building 101 is a neoclassical building located in San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood, designed by Frederick H.

History
The building was built in 1917 for Bethlehem Steel Corporation, which used it as an administrative building while it owned the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation operations on adjacent Pier 70.[3]
Building 101 was originally intended to house offices for 350 people, including executives, draftsmen, and naval architects, and included blueprint facilities. By 1945, it also included a Navy cafeteria and a private branch exchange for telephone service.[4]
The structure has five-stories and 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2) of space. It was renovated and redesigned into a furniture gallery and restaurant by RH. It opened in 2022.
