From 1926 to 1983, the building was known as the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank Building and served as a major branch of the U.S. Federal Reserve. In 1925, during the construction of an armored car entrance into the vault, the remains of a fully-rigged sailing schooner, the Apollo, were discovered. More than 40 artifacts were recovered from this beached ship, which also once served a store, saloon and hotel. A second ship, the Niantic, was also found beneath the foundation. The vault has now been carefully restored and the history of both ships is commemorated in two of the meeting rooms, aptly named the Apollo and the Niantic.

In 2009, the Energy Foundationʼs offices at the Bently Reserve were recognized with the first LEED Platinum® Commercial Interiors project in San Francisco. At the time they were one of only 13 offices worldwide to achieve this standard.

The lower floors of the Bently Reserve are rented for special events, business meetings, and conferences. These spaces represent one of San Franciscoʼs greenest special event venues, as well as some of the west coastʼs most acclaimed spaces. The building is also included in the National Register of Historic Places, and is and one of San Franciscoʼs significant cultural landmarks.
