Ferry Building

January 1, 1946

View from Ferry Boat with Skyline. Welcome To San Francisco - sign on the Ferry Bldg. was replaced by a Port Of San Francisco one in late 1951 or early 1952; the Mobilgas sign looks stripped of paint - prior to mid 1946, it had a white backround, replaced with a red one; the PG&E Annex bldg. is not visible (would be on the center left edge of picture obscuring the multi story building in the distance). It was completed in 1947.
