From 1914 to 1950 The Montgomery was home to ''The San Francisco Call'' and at times the offices of rival publications as well. From 1950 until 2005 the building continued to be utilized as premium commercial office space.

Today there are 107 new residences at 74 New Montgomery. The new developers installed new electrical wiring (including CAT 5), new windows designed to preserve the classic aesthetics, and a seismic retrofit to the foundation.
