Lonely Planet review for James Flood Building

This 1904 stone building survived the 1906 quake and retains much of its original character, notwithstanding the ground-level Gap flagship. Upstairs are long, labyrinthine halls lined with frosted-glass doors, just like in a noir movie – and that’s no coincidence. Back in 1921 the San Francisco office of the infamous Pinkerton National Detective Agency hired a young PI named Dashiell Hammett, now better known as the author of the 1930 noir classic The Maltese Falcon.
