The Earl Warren Building located at 350 McAllister Street in San Francisco, California is the headquarters of the Supreme Court of California.[2] The building was completed in 1922.[1] The Supreme Court first held oral argument in the building in 1923.[2] The building is part of the Ronald M. George State Office Complex (the San Francisco Civic Center Complex) along with the Hiram W. Johnson State Office Building.[3]
The building's facade features granite and terra-cotta masonry and is done in the Beaux-Arts architectural style.[1] Inside, the courtroom for the Supreme Court is paneled in oak and features a coffered ceiling and a skylight 30 feet in height.[2] A mural above the judges' bench depicts a California landscape.[2] After the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, the court vacated the building, eventually returning in 1999.[2]
