1. History

Hosfelt Gallery was founded by Todd Hosfelt in 1996, at 95 Federal Street in San Francisco, adjacent to the visual arts residency program Capp Street Project. In 1999 the gallery moved to a 5,000-square-foot (460 m2) space in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood on 430 Clementina Street. Designed in 1999 by Fougeron Architecture and Endres Ware Engineers, the architect was awarded for her work on the space. In 2006, the gallery opened an additional venue, a 7,500-square-foot (700 m2) space at 531 West 36th Street, in Manhattan. In 2012 the gallery expanded to a new 8,900-square-foot (830 m2) San Francisco space at 260 Utah Street. Hosfelt Gallery was among the first to exhibit such critically acclaimed artists as Shahzia Sikander, Stefan Kürten, Shirin Neshat, Marco Maggi and Jim Campbell. In 2011, the gallery exhibited work by the late Beat artist Jay DeFeo which was the first exhibition of her work on the West Coast in fifteen years.

Hugo Hotel

The Hugo Hotel was a building in San Francisco's South of Market district built in 1909, designed by Theo W. Lenzen. It was located at 200-214 Sixth Street. Gutted by fire in 1988, Hugo Hotel was notable for being held vacant by the owner for 26 years, and for being the site of the Defenestration of Furniture art installation created in 1997 by local artist Brian Goggin. The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency took the owners to court in 2008. In 2009, the building was acquired by the City and County of San Francisco under a rare claim of eminent domain for $4.6 million. It was finally razed in 2015 to make way for affordable housing; in 2017 the Bill Sorro Community, an apartment house for low-income residents, was completed at the site.

George Haas & Sons

George Haas & Sons was a confectioner in San Francisco, California. George Haas established his first candy factory and store, where he made some 200 varieties of candies, in 1868. After selling the business in 1880 he opened a new business two years later in the Phelan Building, designed by William Curlett, which was marketed as the most beautiful candy store in the U.S. and featured on an historic postcard. Haas candies were used in a murder by poisoning in the latter part of the nineteenth century when a spurned lover sent candies laced with arsenic to her former lover's wife in Dover, Delaware. The killer was identified only after the candies were traced to Haas's San Francisco store. After being destroyed by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake the business reopened in the rebuilt Phelan Building and three other sites, later expanding to eight stores in San Francisco and a thousand outlets elsewhere. The stores not only sold candy, but also featured soda fountains and restaurants; the Phelan Building also had a tea room on the building's second floor. The Haas Factory Building, also designed by William Curlett, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Tongs from the business are collectible. George Haas's son R. C. Haas married Corinne Madison, daughter of the head of the California Associated Raisin Company. Members of the Gruenhagen family were involved in the business. The company went bankrupt in 1940.
