The Genella Building, located in the historic Jackson Square district of San Francisco, was constructed in 1853 by Joseph Genella for his china and glassware business. Over the years, it housed various tenants including bullion dealers, merchandise brokers, and even a puppet theater before being restored in the 1950s as offices and an antique shop.
After being damaged in the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989, the Genella Building, along with the adjacent Belli Building, were gutted and rebuilt as apartments while preserving their original facades. The practice of fa adism was employed to maintain the historical significance of these structures within the urban landscape of San Francisco.
