From Wikipedia:

City of Paris Dry Goods Co.

The City of Paris Dry Goods Company (later City of Paris) was one of San Francisco's important department stores from 1850 to 1972, located diagonally opposite Union Square. In the mid-20th century, it opened a few branches in other cities of the Bay Area. The main San Francisco store was demolished in 1980 after a lengthy preservation fight to build a new Neiman Marcus, but the store's original rotunda and glass dome were preserved and incorporated into the new design.
