"Unusual for its day, large amounts of glass allow a view into the machines and turbines within. The old Union Iron Works site became a significant force in world shipbuilding in both World Wars. The powerhouse was part of an important building campaign that projected an image and vision of the “new” company to the public. San Francisco architect Charles Peter Weeks designed a building with an entablature that is notable for its terra cotta shell motif frieze and copper modillioned cornice."
