In 1852 President Millard Fillmore approved an Act of Congress establishing a branch of the United States Mint in San Francisco to convert miners’ gold from the California gold rush into coins. The San Francisco Old Mint building, the second building in San Francisco to house the United States Mint there, was designed by architect A.B. Mullett who also designed the United States Department of the Treasury building and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

When an earthquake and subsequent fire struck the city in April 1906, employees of the United States Mint used water from an artesian well on the grounds to save the building from flames. The solid construction of the “Granite Lady” enabled it to survive the disaster relatively intact, making it the only financial institution able to operate immediately after the earthquake as the Treasury for disaster relief funds for the city of San Francisco. The building became a National Historic Landmark in 1961.
