Historic Hills Brothers Coffee Building with Sign San Francisco DSC5745
In 1900, Hills Bros. began packing roast coffee in vacuum sealed cans. They incorporated under the Hills Bros. name in 1906. In 1926 Hills Bros. moved its operations to 2 Harrison Street in San Francisco, a Romanesque revival building on the Embarcadero designed by George W. Kelham that is now a city landmark. The roasting operations once made the surrounding area smell like coffee, according to a Key System "March of Progress" style public service film from 1945 In January 2012, the building had become home to Wharton San Francisco, a satellite of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. A Wharton sign can be currently seen on the Embarcadero side of the building. Google, Inc and the Mozilla Corporation also have offices on several floors of the building. -wikipedia
