Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, visitors traveling to San Francisco came via ferry, and the Ferry Building, one of San Francisco's most famous landmarks, stood ready to welcome them. In the 1920s, the Ferry Building was the world's second-busiest transit terminal (after Charing Cross, London), with more than 50,000 people a day passing through the elegant structure, designed by architect A. Page Brown and opened in 1898. When the 1906 earthquake struck and the ensuing fire was destroying the city, the venerable waterfront icon stood above the ruins, giving residents hope that the city would recover and rise from the ashes. By 1939, with the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge both open, ferry traffic fell off. By the late 1950s, ferry service ended altogether, and the building's beautiful facade was blocked by the double-decker Embarcadero Freeway. With the freeway's demise after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the Ferry Building was restored and reopened in 2003. It is once again a beacon of civic pride, a landmark listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and a public space that anchors the San Francisco waterfront.

Download or read book The Ferry Building written by Nancy Olmsted and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built in 1898, San Francisco's Ferry Building has been witness to a century of turbulent and compelling history. From its prominent position at the foot of Market Street, it has seen a hundred years of victory parades and funeral processions, protest marches and celebrations, earthquakes and their aftermath, as well as the daily comings and goings of millions of citizens. From an era of horsecars, working-class hotels, and nickel steam beer to the present age of computers and highrises, the Ferry Building has served as a terminus for passengers and as a constant, elegant, and hardworking presence in the life of San Francisco. This book is a grand visual tribute to the Ferry Building's first hundred years. Over 200 spectacular photos and a deeply-researched and lively text bring to life the sights, sounds, and ambience of San Francisco's colorful past. Nancy Olmsted has been collecting photographs and information about the Ferry Building for twenty-five years. A historian specializing in the San Francisco waterfront, her previous books include Ferryboats: A San Francisco Tradition, Scow Schooners of San Francisco Bay, and Vanished Waters: History of San Francisco's Mission Bay. She lives and works in Kentfield, California.
