The Shell Building, located at one hundred Bush Street, is recognizable by the statuesque, fan-shaped shell castings that line its upper cornices. Completed in nineteen twenty-nine, this twenty-eight-story tower was designed by architect George W. Kelham as the regional headquarters for the Shell Oil Company. The structure sits at the intersection of Bush and Battery Streets, where it stands out for its vertical lines and terra-cotta cladding that captures a sandy, metallic glow in the shifting light.
