The Redstone Building, also known as the Redstone Labor Temple (and formerly called "The San Francisco Labor Temple"), was constructed and operated by the San Francisco Labor Council Hall Associates. Initial planning started in 1910, with most construction work done during 1914. Its primary tenant was the San Francisco Labor Council, including 22 labor union offices as well as meeting halls. The building was a hub of union organizing and work activities and a "primary center for the city's historic labor community for over half a century."[2]
The Redstone building played a significant role in the 1917 United Railroads Streetcar Strike[3] as well as the San Francisco maritime strike that led to the 1934 San Francisco General Strike.[4][5][6][7] The Redstone Building has been designated San Francisco's 238th landmark.[8]
The Redstone is located at 2940 16th Street between South Van Ness, formerly Howard Street, and Capp.
