| Coit Tower, a slender white concrete column rising from the top of Telegraph Hill, has been an emblem of San Franciscoââ¬â¢s skyline since its completion in 1933, a beacon to visitors and residents alike. Its observation deck, reached by elevator, provides a 360-degree view of the city and bay, including views of the Golden Gate and Bay bridges. The simple fluted tower is named for Lillie Hitchcock Coit. The murals inside the towerââ¬â¢s base were painted in 1934 by a group of artists employed by the Public Works of Art Project, a precursor to the Works Progress Administration WPA, and depict life in California during the Depression. |
