The James R. Browning U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco is considered one of the nation's most beautiful public buildings. Built as the U.S. Courthouse and Post Office at the turn of the twentieth century, it was intended to represent the affluence and increasing importance of the United States as it became a world power.
This commemorative book designed by Helf Art and Design under the RightSide Imaging brand recieved the Design Excellence Award from the U.S. GSA. Written by Jesse Hamlin, the design of the book celebrates the beauty of the building and the upgrades by Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill.
