We request that anyone with access requests or questions contact us directly with at least 72 hours' notice to ensure that we meet their needs. About the Building The SF LGBT Center building melds the modern and the historical. The East side of the building is the last surviving Victorian on Market Street, having narrowly survived the fire from the 1906 earthquake. In 2002 the center joined together the modern neighboring building with the Victorian. In April 2017, we held our ribbon-cutting ceremony after a year and a half of renovations to the building, providing whole new event and meeting spaces and bringing in new local service providers to be housed within our walls.
