As its previous names suggest, Chevron Corporation was once headquartered here.2 The 40 story tower is the taller of the two tower complex of 555-575 Market Street.2 The shorter tower is known as 555 Market Street.3 The 311 foot (95 m), 22 story tower was the first tower of the 555-575 Market Street Plaza complex, completed in 1964.3

The two buildings are surrounded by small ornamental plazas. Both buildings are terra cotta over a granite base.4
