The Salomon Building is a single-story mid-century modern residential block constructed in 1959 and recognized as a local historic landmark designed by Henry Hester. Architecturally notable for expansive banks of floor-to-ceiling glazing and a preserved museum-quality lobby, the property presents strong period character—clean lines, recessed lighting, and original mid-century detailing updated sensitively in many units. Residences are primarily two-bedroom plans with open living layouts, main-level primary bedrooms, built‑in storage and galley kitchens; some units offer extraordinary private outdoor terraces or direct exterior entries that create a house-like feel. Shared amenities emphasize lifestyle and community: a restored saltwater pool and sun deck, a modest fitness room, secured underground parking, private storage rooms and bicycle storage. The Mills Act historic designation significantly reduces property tax for owners and guides renovation choices. Located in Bankers Hill/Bankers Hill–Balboa Park edge, the building fronts Balboa Park with immediate access to cultural institutions, walking routes, restaurants and transit; the setting blends urban convenience with park-side views and sunsets over the city.
