San Francisco, California - USA |
Coit Tower stands today thanks in part to Lillian Coit who donated a third of her estate money to the city of San Francisco when she died in 1929. She requested it be used to add beauty to the city she loved. As a result, this tower was built on Telegraph Hill offering beautiful 360º views of the bay area. Faculty and students from the California School of Fine Arts were asked to paint murals inside focusing on scenes from San Francisco, racial equality and leftist political ideas.
