Housed in Building A at 2 Marina Boulevard, the gallery overlooks the Golden Gate and has spent five decades championing experimental, socially engaged, and genre-hybrid photography that commercial venues often cannot support. The gallery's event space accommodates up to 50 guests and is available for private rentals. During events, guests enjoy the gallery's rotating exhibitions — works by artists whose careers SF Camerawork has helped launch, including photographers who have gone on to international recognition — alongside sweeping views of the bay. The historic Fort Mason setting adds a distinctive architectural backdrop to any gathering. Beyond rentals, SF Camerawork's programming includes critiques, workshops, lectures, and curator-led tours, making it a lively gathering point for San Francisco's photography and arts communities.

Our stylish and unique rooftop terrace, which is the largest outdoor restaurant location in San Francisco, is absolutely one-of-a-kind, making us the ideal place for large functions. H.C. Baumann, a prominent architect, created the Gaylord Hotel in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, inspired by the structures of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. Founder Pete Glikshtern collaborated with architect Kyle Reicher of Ferrous Studios Inc. to reinterpret the classic wrought iron grilles from the Gaylord's lobby to integrate parts of the historic building's architecture into our area. From the huge front gates that welcome guests in, to the patio guard rails, to the ornate metal wall between the stairs and the dining room, our steel is an homage to the rich architectural history of our building. 620 Jones has had the privilege of working with many local community legends, including London Breed, Juanita More, Joe Montana and Steve Kerr. We have also hosted events for Salesforce, Honda, Legends of the NFL, SFPD, Facebook, Oracle, and so many more.

West Oakland, California's 16th Street Station is a historic landmark that dates back to the late nineteenth century. At this time, we are not renting the interior space of the building, and we are only renting the area immediately surrounding the building. As a backdrop, the site boasts a magnificent Main Hall that is truly breath-taking. The 16th Street Station will no longer be taking any rental commitments for events that will take place within the Station. Rental of outside areas is still available. Please inquire. The 16th Street Station, which opened on August 1, 1912, marked the beginning of West Oakland as the city's gateway. The Station, which was constructed for $300,000 by the Southern Pacific Railway and designed by Chicago architect Jarvis Hunt, was built by the railroad for $300,000. That same year, the Station was featured in Western Architect magazine. The Station served as the western terminus of the transcontinental railway system, and was the last stop on the Western line. Even as recently as the 1950s, Southern Pacific was one of Oakland's most significant private sector employers. By the 1960s, the railroad company had realized that their primary source of revenue was freight transportation rather than passenger travel. However, in the early years, the usage was quite different from what it is today.
