The will of wealthy San Francisco socialite Lillian Hitchcock Coit left one third of her fortune, all $118,000 of it, to beautify the city she has always loved.
After building the Tower on Telegraph Hill that now bears her name, there was enough money left to also build a memorial statue dedicated to the Volunteer Fire Fighters, depicting three firemen, one carrying a woman.
