The existing historic Pier 26 in San Francisco is located on the Embarcadero with its entrance directly under the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, several blocks southeast of the Ferry Building. The pier is a single story gable timber structure that rests partially on concrete retainage but mostly on pier foundations on the bay. Its surface area measures approximately 100,000 square feet (9,300 m²), currently used for parking and storage. Its front facade along the Embarcadero is of historic significance. The United States Geological Survey treats the entrance of Pier 26 on the Embarcadero as the location of Rincon Point, though the Embarcadero is built on land fill and the historical location was slightly to the northwest.
