Ferry Building
I walk through here at least once a week. The original clock tower and the bay view — blocked for thirty years by the elevated Embarcadero Freeway — are why I keep coming back.
The 1898 Ferry Building, once the gateway to San Francisco by water. The elevated Embarcadero Freeway built in 1959 was demolished after 1989 — the earthquake gave the waterfront back.
