After the 1906 earthquake that destroyed city hall, San Francisco rebuilt a new city hall in time for the World's Fair of 1915. Designed by Arthur Brown Jr., the Beaux style designed building includes a sweeping grand staircase in the rotunda and a massive dome at 307 feet in height. The dome is a full 42 feet taller than the dome of the Nation's Capitol.
