Techcrunch reported Synthetic which makes Hypstamtic, SwankoLab, and IncrediBooth has moved from Chicago to San Francisco & they've bought a two-story building they'll move into in February 2011.
The article links to 74 Langton (though it still has an available sign on it). There is a larger brick building next door which is 80 Langton.
It will be "both a worldwide headquarters and a retail/gallery space where events will be held for their community."
The co-founders moved to SF in July and have been working from a temporary space.

I had stopped by Electric Works which was nearby, so I took some photos of 74 (and some wide shots with 80) with Hipstamatic, 360 panorama, and my D7000.
Also a Firebird in front (which does not come with the building) and a few things nearby. It is around the corner from Brainwash & near Sightglass coffee.
It was listed along with 80 Langton the building next door. People were working on renovating 80 and one said they'd been working for about a month and a half and it had been bought by artists (it used to be owned by artists - see the info n New Langton below).
He'd heard 74 might have sold, but didn't know who bought it.
Listings say 74 is 3600 square feet and was on the market for just under a million dollars. 80 is 6300 sq ft for almost $1.5 million.

A planning department PDF says 74 is a historic building built in 1908 and used by a casket manufacturer. They expanded in 1911 and added the larger 80 Langton.

New Langton Arts which sadly closed in 2009 was originally called 80 Langton Street and was located there from 1975 - 1983.
From an oral history of Susan Miller
"1975 actually, in a warehouse space on Langton Street. It was, in fact, an old casket factory in a light-industrial building of the kind common to San Francisco’s South of Market district. The building and facility were owned by a founder, artist Jock Reynolds. The gallery and theater shared one space in a loft rented from Jock by artist and founding member Jim Pomeroy."

Langton Labs, a live/work warehouse space is not far away at 9 Langton (and another space across the street which used to be a photography studio)
