Ferry Station Post Office Building, Post office building in The Embarcadero, United States.

The Ferry Station Post Office Building is a two-story steel-framed building on the Embarcadero at the foot of Mission Street, designed by A. A. Pyle in Mediterranean Revival style. Its brick walls carry trompe-l'œil stone trim of terracotta, and the upper story has two terracotta shields and patterned brick panels. An arch over the double entrance doors holds a phoenix and a flagpole.

The Ferry Station Post Office Building was built in 1915 as San Francisco's main post office, with mail arriving by water and then distributed by streetcar. The contract was signed on October 22, 1914, and construction, costing $31,981.50, was completed on May 6, 1915. It was enlarged at the rear in 1918, ceased to be a post office in 1925, and was transferred to the state Agriculture Department in 1933. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1978.

This building once played a key role in connecting the city to maritime commerce and shipping routes. Today it remains a reminder of how postal services and harbor life were closely linked in early San Francisco.

The building sits near multiple transportation options including ferries and buses serving nearby areas. Its location at The Embarcadero makes it easy to walk to and explore the historic waterfront district on foot.

The wharf beneath the building was built at the same time as the structure and rests on wood pilings, while the building itself sits on a reinforced concrete foundation. The contract was signed on October 22, 1914, and work was completed on May 6, 1915, at a cost of $31,981.50.
