Coit Tower sits 210 ft. atop Telegraph Hill. When Lillie Hitchcock was a young girl, a firefighter saved her from a burning building. From that time forward, Lillie had a love affair with the fire department. Upon her death in 1929, she bequeathed one-third of her fortune to beautify her beloved San Francisco. The city decided to build Coit Tower in honor of the fire department and to beautify San Francisco. The Public Works of Art Project were responsible for commissioning the murals inside the tower. The murals depict the everyday life of California...the agriculture and the political sentiment of the time.
