Pier 29 (San Francisco, California)

 pier, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places

The bulkhead building, built in 1918, is timber clad with stucco. A long structure that links Piers 29 and 31, it features a monumental pier-entry pavilion with a gabled parapet at the head of each pier that is flanked by flat-roofed wings, each two stories in height, to the north and south. To the north there are eleven bays between the entry pavilions of the two piers, while to the south there are three bays.

The detailing is classical. In the entry pavilions, monumental arches are lined with voussoirs topped by a keystone, and are flanked by monumental tapering piers. A course of dentils runs along the base of the gabled parapet, which has a curved front and rises to a flagpole. The stucco surface is lightly scored to resemble ashlar masonry. On the flanking bays, rusticated pilasters divide the facade into bays, which are also coated in scored stucco.
