The Elliott Building , constructed in the 1920’s as an auto sales and service facility, was renovated and adapted to include three new uses on its three floors- restaurants, office, and lofts- with a new fourth floor added to rest lightly on the masonry base. The completed building has re-energized the district, and for several years was home to Governor Jerry Brown.
