Ferry Building circa 1940

Elevated view south on Embarcadero from about Washington Street [[Ferry Building, SF, with San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in Background][Before the completion of the Bridge above a million ferry commuters and transcontinental travelers passed through this famous structure every week. Running the entire length of the second floor is a gigantic relief map of the State of California, which is most instructive and interesting.]
