Geocache Description:


From this geocache that's one block away from the Potrero Hill Branch Library, you’ll catch a nice city view. 

There's another skyline view of SF on the 2nd floor of the library.

The cache has a funny camo! I don't know what it used to be actually - I found it at an old art supplies store in Oakland.

BYOP, please rehide well.

Congrats Mr V Troop 3 for the FTF!

Library Website:

Potrero Branch Library was the 22nd branch established in the San Francisco Public Library system and has a history that dates back to the 1890s. One of the earliest branch locations was at 1126 Kentucky Street. That facility was closed in 1902 and replaced by a "library station." In 1909-1910 the station was located at 19th Street and Kentucky. In September 1918, the station was moved to a room in the old Daniel Webster School. In 1919 the station location was on Connecticut Street near 20th Street, and later that year it was moved to 448 Connecticut Street. The present-day branch building, which was opened to the public on June 25, 1951, was designed by the architectural firm of Pollack & Pope. The cost of the building was $97,168 and of the land, $3,260.
