Ferry Building 🚢 San Francisco

One of the city's iconic landmarks, the San Francisco Ferry Building is a terminal for ferries across the San Francisco Bay, a food hall, and an office building. It is located on The Embarcadero at the end of Market St.
Designed by American architect A. Page Brown in the Beaux Arts style, the ferry building was completed in 1898, the largest project in the city up to that time. Brown designed the 245-foot tall clock tower with four clock dials, each 22 feet in diameter, after the 12th-century Giralda bell tower in Seville, Spain, and the entire length of the building on both frontages is based on an arched arcade.
With decreased use since the 1950s, after bridges were constructed across the bay to carry rail and car traffic, the building was adapted to office use and its public spaces broken up. In 2002 the entire complex was renovated. The 660-foot long Great Nave was restored, together with its height and materials. A marketplace was created on the ground floor, the former baggage handling area. The second and third floors were adapted for office and Port Commission use. During daylight, on every full and half-hour, the clock bell chimes portions of the Westminster Quarters. The ferry terminal is a designated San Francisco landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Ferry_Building
