The proposed site, attracted the attention of city leaders who needed a temporary City Hall while the original was being rebuilt. Inspired by a sense of civic pride, the Whitcomb Estate agreed to have their hotel used as City Hall.Hotel Whitcomb served as the seat of government for San Francisco from 1912 through 1915.
