Baker Hamilton building Adobe San Francisco

If you're looking for a cool place to work, few can top the biggest names in tech.

Companies like Google, Apple and Microsoft have built massive campuses with their own cafeterias, gyms, game rooms, and even areas where you can get some alone time or take a nap.

But software maker Adobe has something those giants don't: a building that just so happens to be a historic landmark in downtown San Francisco.

As detailed in the post on the company's blog, Adobe's main office in San Francisco is in the famous Baker & Hamilton building, a warehouse built almost a century ago. A landmark on the National Registry of Historic Places, the building "is the last remaining piece of an industrial and commercial complex important in the development of San Francisco and the West." 

The Baker-Hamilton building began construction in 1904, was completed in 1905, and miraculously survived the major earthquake and fires of 1906. The original owner's sign is still there.



Adobe doesn't detract from the sense of history. Its sign is much smaller and only noticeable near the entrance.



Building your office into an old warehouse has its perks. The first thing you notice is how much space there is everywhere.
