The Women's Building (San Francisco)

The Women's Building is a women-led non-profit arts and education community center located in San Francisco, California. The center advocates self-determination, gender equality and social justice. The four-story building rents to multiple tenants and serves more than 20,000 women a year. The building has served as an event and meeting space since 1979, when it was purchased by the San Francisco Women's Center. The Center is shielded from rising real estate costs in the Mission District because it owns the building free and clear, having paid off the mortgage in 1995.

The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 30, 2018, under the name "The Women's Building". It has been listed as a San Francisco Designated Landmark since March 1, 1985.
