San Francisco Marriott Marquis
San Francisco Marriott Marquis

The San Francisco Marriott Marquis is a 133 m (436 ft) 39-story skyscraper in the South of Market neighborhood of San Francisco, California. Situated at the intersection of Fourth and Mission Streets, across from the Metreon and Moscone Convention Center, the building is recognizable by the distinctive postmodern appearance of its high-rise tower. The building was completed in 1989, and contains 1,500 hotel rooms. The original architectural firm Zeidler Partnership Architects was replaced by DMJM architect Anthony J Lumsden, who gave the building its overall architectural style. The San Francisco Marriott is the second tallest hotel in San Francisco, after Hilton San Francisco Tower I. The hotel was at the heart of the city of San Francisco's development of the central blocks in the South of Market area during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The city had put out an invitation to property developers to come up with ideas for the area. Ten developers originally responded and the eventual proposal chosen - in October 1980 - was a joint effort by Marriott together with the Canadian property developers Olympia and York.The Marriott Marquis opened on October 17, 1989, the day of the Loma Prieta earthquake. With better earthquake proofing than several nearby hotels, the building only lost a single window.The San Francisco Marriott Marquis is one of eight Marriott International hotels in the city along with Courtyard San Francisco Downtown, Courtyard San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco Marriott Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco Marriott Union Square, JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square, Hotel Adagio, and the Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco.

Cort Theatre (San Francisco)
Cort Theatre (San Francisco)

The Cort Theatre, sometimes spelled Cort Theater, was a theatre in San Francisco, California located at 64 Ellis Street in the Tenderloin neighborhood. It was designed by architect Henry Ives Cobb. One of the larger venues in San Francisco during its existence, the theater had a seating capacity of 1,845 people. The theatre was built under the leadership of impresario John Cort, and opened in 1911. The newly created San Francisco Symphony began performing at the theatre during its inaugural season in 1911, and continued to perform at the theatre until 1922. Homer Curran had severed as manager of the Cort Theatre under John Cort since it opened in September 1911. He bought out Cort's interest in the theatre in 1918, and the Cort Theatre was renamed the Curran Theatre in September of that year. Curran remained a financial investor in the theatre until selling his interest in December 1920 to raise capital to build his own theatre. That other theatre was also named the Curran Theatre and opened in 1922. The old Curran Theatre was re-named the Century Theatre in September 1921. The theatre became the Morosco Theatre in April 1922 when the theatre was leased by theatrical producer Oliver Morosco; only to have its name changed back to the Century Theatre again the following November when the firm of Ackerman & Harris took over the lease. In June 1923 the theatre was rebranded a final time to the Capitol Theatre. It remained the Capitol Theatre until 1941 when the theatre closed permanently and was demolished. In the 1910s and 1920s the theatre was used as a venue for a variety of plays, musicals, operas, concerts, and silent film screenings, but in the 1930s it became a burlesque theatre establishment.
