Pier 26, Maritime facility at The Embarcadero, San Francisco, United States.

Pier 26 extends into San Francisco Bay near Harrison Street, featuring a single-story timber construction with foundations over the water and concrete retaining walls.

The structure became a focal point during the 1934 West Coast Waterfront Strike, where longshoremen organized protests that led to significant labor movement developments.

The pier building now houses modern businesses including Shelton Studios, which maintains connections to local arts through film and theater productions.

The structure provides approximately 100,000 square feet of space currently used for parking and storage, with direct access from The Embarcadero street.

Railroad tracks from the State Belt Railroad remain along the waterfront portion of Pier 26, indicating its previous role in cargo transportation.
