San Francisco's Ferry Building (WC)

This is an original watercolor painting by Mike Robles. This 21x14 inch painting was done using artist quality paints on 300 lb Lanaquarelle cold pressed watercolor paper.

The San Francisco Ferry Building is a terminal for ferries that travel across the San Francisco Bay, it is a marketplace, and also has offices, located on The Embarcadero in San Francisco, California. On top of the building is a 245-foot tall clock tower, with four clock dials, each 22 feet in diameter, which can be seen from Market Street, a main thoroughfare of the city.
Designed by American architect A. Page Brown in the Beaux Arts style in 1892, the ferry building was completed in 1898. At its opening, it was the largest project undertaken in the city up to that time. Brown designed the clock tower after the 12th-century Giralda bell tower in Seville, Spain, and the entire length of the building on both frontages is based on an arched arcade.
