San Francisco Ferry Building

The San Francisco Ferry Building is a ferry terminal on the Embarcadero at the foot of Market Street, designed by A. Page Brown and completed in 1898, with a 245-foot clock tower. After a restoration that ended in 2003, its 660-foot skylit nave holds a food hall with shops and restaurants, and ferries still leave from the piers behind it.
