Notes
  • Significance: The terminal pier is significant as part of the original complex, as an excellent and increasingly rare example of early twentieth century freight pier construction and, through its physical and functional history, as a particularly intense site of attempts to adapt to changing freight handling conditions between 1920 and 1970.
