The image is a vintage postcard showing the San Francisco Ferry Building and the now-demolished Embarcadero Freeway.

The postcard depicts an elevated view of the double-decker Embarcadero Freeway, which separated the Ferry Building from the city's downtown area.
The freeway was opened in 1959 and was criticized for its negative aesthetic impact on the waterfront.
The structure was in use until it was damaged by the Loma Prieta earthquake in October 1989 and subsequently demolished.
The Ferry Building, an iconic landmark since 1898, now stands prominently on the waterfront without the obstructing freeway in front of it.
