Coit Tower


Coit Tower is 210 feet tall and is located in the historic Telegraph Hill neighborhood in San Francisco.  The tower was built in 1933 at the bequest of Lillie Hitchcock Coit to beautify the city of San Francisco.  The art deco tower was designed by Arthur Brown Jr and Henry Howard.  The tower is made of unpainted reinforced concrete and inside there are many murals painted by different artists as part of the Public Works of Art Project.
