520 | _aBuilt 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. This book is a grand visual tribute to the Ferry Building's first hundred years. Over 200 spectacular photos and a deeply-researched and lively text bring to life the sights, sounds, and ambience of San Francisco's colorful past. Nancy Olmsted has been collecting photographs and information about the Ferry Building for twenty-five years. A historian specializing in the San Francisco waterfront, her previous books include Ferryboats: A San Francisco Tradition, Scow Schooners of San Francisco Bay, and Vanished Waters: History of San Francisco's Mission Bay. She lives and works in Kentfield, California. www.alibris.com | ||
