On The Job-The Piers

Back in the day, one of the things that made a city great was its access to waterways to transport people and goods. the city is situated on a peninsula and borders the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay. Rows of piers were built along the waterfront to accommodate the comings and goings of ships who would onload/offload whatever they had.


They heyday of these buildings have long passed and almost all of the shipping has been moved to the east bay where the practice still thrives

These buildings have not lost their functionality over the years. A very few are utitilized for the rare cruise ship that makes port in the city. Many are now converted into businesses that range from restaurants to chocolate manufacturing and a myriad of other uses
