I attached a shot of the Ferry Building (1939) and the SP Building (1958) with the annotation.. Newscopy: "BLIGHT AT FOOT OF MARKET--Here is a view looking from the freeway towards the Southern Pacific Building in the background showing three blocks of blighted, dilapidated buildings scheduled to be replaced with four-acre Ferry Building Park if voters approve Proposition C on November ballot." Have a great 4th! Jim Linda Hamid wrote: Barbara, My dad worked for SP too. He died in the SP hospital in SF. I was born in mid-50's. I remember going to the office with him a few times. It was near the big clock. What location is that? I believe the clock is still there.

Since my father worked for S.P. almost 50 years I have a desire to find a picture of that building on Market Street. Could you or someone give me direction on where I might find such a photo? Thanks.
