History
Mrs. W. F. Morris of Menlo Park arranged for the construction of the building to a design by Kenneth McDonald, Jr. Completed in 1909 and now demolished, it had eight floors above ground and measured 102.38 feet (31.21 m). The Foxcroft Building was owned by capitalist Charles Edward Holmes (1866–1927), who named it the Foxcroft Building, after the settlement in Maine where his family hailed from. After his death, it was renamed 68 Post Street in 1930. The Montgomery Tower now stands on the site.

Coyle Company (with offices at 725 and 726), the McAlpine Gold Mining and Milling Company (at 820), the Moore Mill & Lumber Company, and architect firm H. H. Larsen & Son.
