Coit Tower
Coit Tower was constructed in 1933 at the request of Lillie
Hitchcock Coit. This interesting woman was a volunteer firefighter
who rode along with the firemen of her day, often to the chagrin of
those who may have found such behavior unladylike during her era.
Ignoring those people, Ms. Coit lived a dynamic life. She was
allowed her eccentricities in part because she had the money to
live as she pleased. She donated much of that money to assisting
the firefighters in the city. She also donated the money to build
Coit Tower in the interest of both honoring the firefighters and
creating a beautiful spot for viewing the city she loved. Historic
placards offer information about Ms. Coit but what truly lets you
see the history of the area is the set of murals within the walls
of the tower. Completed over seventy years ago by the hands of over
twenty five local artists, these murals depict the scenes of daily
life in San Francisco from the perspective of different
neighborhoods in this diverse city. Walking tours are available
which provide additional information about the murals.
Cache container is a M258A1 Military Decontamination (Decon)
Box.
