Description
Coit Tower was built in Pioneer Park atop Telegraph Hill in 1933 at the bequest of Lillie Hitchcock Coit to beautify the City of San Francisco; Lillie bequeathed one third of her estate to the City of San Francisco. Popular opinion holds that the tower was built to resemble a fire hose nozzle because of Lillie's affinity with the San Francisco firefighters of the day. Inside, the Coit Tower murals were carried out under the Public Works of Art Project, the first of the New Deal federal employment programs for artists.

Description
Opening in 1898 on the site of the 1875 wooden Ferry House, the Ferry Building became the transportation hub for anyone arriving by train from the East, as well as from all the East Bay and Marin residents who worked in the city. From the Gold Rush until the 1930s, arrival by ferryboat was the only way travelers could reach the city from the East. All but abandoned in the 60s and 70s, the Ferry Building was remodeled and again hums as a transportation hub and busy gourmet marketplace for the city. The Marketplace, organized along the central Nave, provides a distinctive space for bringing together the greater Bay Area's agricultural wealth and renowned specialty food purveyors under one roof. The exterior and main public hall have been restored to their original grandeur for use by ferry passengers and the public at large.
