The Hunter–Dulin Building (also known as the California Commercial Wool Building or 111 Sutter Street) is a class A office building located at 111 Sutter Street in San Francisco, California.

Description and history[edit]

The 25-story, 94 m (308 ft) tall building was completed in 1927. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 1997.[7] The building was totally restored and renovated between 1999 and 2001.[citation needed]

The building served as the West Coast headquarters for the National Broadcasting Company from 1927 to 1942;[8] the executive offices were located on the 21st floor and the studio offices were located on the 22nd. The 22nd floor was later occupied by peer-to-peer lending firm Prosper Marketplace.[citation needed]

111 Sutter Street was the fictional location of the "Spade & Archer" detective agency in Dashell Hammett's 1930 book, "The Maltese Falcon". According to Hammett, Sam Spade's office was located on the 5th floor.[citation needed]

As of May 2023, during what the San Francisco Chronicle described as "Downtown San Francisco['s] worst office vacancy crisis on record," 111 Sutter Street had a vacancy rate of 43.9%.[9]
