Berkeley, Calif.: Heyday Books, 1998. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Oblong 4 to.,. black cloth, gilt spine, vii, 232 pages : illustrations ; 23 x 31 cm., 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.
