The Oakland Tribune Clock Tower is a famous Oakland Landmark. It was declared a landmark on May 4, 1976 after about 70 years of life. The Tower was actually built in two stages. The six floors of base were completed in 1907 and the clock tower section was finished in 1923.
The building totals 21 floors and is Oakland’s 10th tallest building at 305 feet.
The internal square footage amounts to 89,251 sq.-ft.

In recent years the Tower was damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. Because the building was not occupied the Oakland Tribune Newspaper had to relocate. The Tower remained empty until 1995 and was bought and renovated. Ten years later in 1999 the great Tower was reopened. To this date it is occupied with condos and businesses.

The Tower is a part of Oakland and will always be. It was recently sold for about $15 million dollars so I don’t think it will be going anywhere anytime soon.

San Francisco Ferry Building picture and history

Jul 142008

San Francisco Ferry building

The San Francisco Ferry Building was completed in 1898. That means it survived the 1906 Earthquake and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. It is a long standing historic landmark in the San Francisco Bay Area. At one point it was the main form of transportation in and out of the Peninsula. This was the days before cars and before the Golden Gate bridge or Bay Bridge had been completed. It had about 50,000 passengers a day! That was the 2nd busiest terminal in the world at the time!

In 2004 the Ferry Building reopened as the well known San Francisco Gourmet Market and home of the Farmers Market.
