Warehouse with history

Interior of Pier 9 main building; Bayside History Walk sign (aging badly); Pilot orange and white boat with Yerba Buena Island and tower of Bay Bridge in the background

A sign and painted pedestrian lane promised me some history, so I entered this warehouse to read some interpretive signs, including a graphic showing ship channels in the bay, and a display about lithophanes, which are 3D models which were previously carved or made of porcelain, but which can now be 3D printed.  Adobe has an office/lab in this building with sophisticated printing tech, so it was their contribution to the interpretive panels.
