Salfield and Kohlberg designed the building before the earthquake and the frame survived the quake.  A political mobster ran a brokerage office after he was released from San Quentin on the top floor.  In 1958, Robert Moor saved the building from destruction and named it Columbus Towers.  Architect Henrick Bull restored the building and it was sold 1-1/2 years later to the Kingston Trio.  They later sold it to Francis Ford Coppola where he has his office there today.
