The San Francisco Curb Exchange Building was completed in 1923 to a Neoclassical design by the firm Miller and Pflueger, built to house the city's curb exchange, an outdoor, informal securities market that operated alongside the formal stock exchange trading floor. It is now a San Francisco Designated Landmark.

the style

Miller and Pflueger designed the building in a Neoclassical style, giving a market building tied to speculative curb trading the columned solemnity of a bank or civic institution.
