Streamline Moderne Office Building on The Embarcadero, San Francisco

Just off The Embarcadero in San Francisco, this curved pink building stops you in your tracks. With its rounded corners, horizontal bands of windows, and row of circular porthole details along the roofline, it’s classic Streamline Moderne—like a building that thinks it's a ship. It feels like a relic from the 1930s that somehow still belongs in today’s city. Nestled between glassy towers and a brick neighbor from an earlier era, it quietly holds its own. It’s not trying too hard, but it’s got style. A little retro, a little elegant, and totally San Francisco. You can’t help but smile at it.
