The third Saint Ignatius Church was built , along with Saint Ignatius College , in 1880 . The church and college moved from Market Street to the corner of Hayes Street and Van Ness Avenue , on a site now occupied by the Davies Symphony Hall . Compared to the first two churches , the third church could accommodate 4,000 worshippers and was arguably the grandest . However , the third church and college only lasted 25 years as both were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire
