Rincon Center, Art Deco building complex in South of Market, San Francisco, United States.
The Rincon Center spans an entire city block near the Embarcadero, featuring a five-story atrium with a skylight and exterior stone relief friezes of dolphins.
Constructed in 1940 as the Rincon Annex post office, the building employed up to 1,500 postal workers until operations moved to India Basin in 1979.
The structure represents the Streamline Moderne architectural movement of the mid-20th century through its curved lines, smooth surfaces, and geometric patterns.
Located at the intersection of Mission and Spear Streets, the complex now houses shops, restaurants, offices, and apartments in downtown San Francisco.
The renovation in 1988 added two stories to the original structure while preserving the historical elements of Gilbert Stanley Underwood's design.
