Golden Gate Photo - Coit Tower Gallery
Fine Art Photography of the Coit Tower, San Francisco, California.
The 210-Foot Coit Tower was built in 1933 in the shape of a fire hose nozzle as a memorial to the firefighters that fought the fires of the great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. It's named after Lillie Hitchcock Coit, a socialite who achieved notoriety as the "Mascot" of Knickerbocker Engine Company Number 5. She married Howard Coit, a wealthy financier, and when she died in 1929, she left a third of her estate to the city for construction of a memorial tower atop Telegraph Hill. These photos were all taken during the autumn of 1998.
