from: Tony Arioli Califtony707@aol.com message: This image was taken in the summer of 1955. If you look to the right of the Ferry Building Tower, you'll see there is construction going on in that wing of the building (the north wing). It was heavily damaged in a fire that broke out in the carpentry stores just in front of it on April Fool's Day, 1955.
