Alameda Works Shipyard

The only building remaining from the yard is the Union Iron Works Powerhouse, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.1956.

During the World War I period the yard built cargo ships, tankers and 2 small tugboats.

Designed in a simplified Renaissance Revival style, the powerhouse is an excellent example of a building type-the "beautiful" power house-for which the San Francisco Bay Area was nationally known.

[2][6][7] Today, the little building that once powered an entire shipyard has been converted into private office space and is closed to the public.
