Ferry Building on Market Street

Tourists!

Iconic Clock Tower of the Ferry Building. While the tower withstood the 1906 Earthquake, it was damaged in the ensuing fire. The middle part of the tower was rebuilt, as scaffolding held the top part of the tower suspended in air.















Interesting fact: The Clock Tower was modeled after the Giralda Bell Tower of the cathedral in Seville Posted by Picasa
