The city’s harbor agency has closed its office in the building until further notice, according to an announcement on its website.

A fire Sunday in the Northerly Island Visitor Center forced the closure of a city harbor agency office in the building. In an earlier incarnation, the building was used as a hangar at Meigs Field.
