Coit Tower, San Francisco, California

Coit Tower

Coit Tower, also known as the Lillian Coit Memorial Tower, is a 64 m tower in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, California.

The tower, in the city's Pioneer Park, was built in 1933 using Lillie Hitchcock Coit's bequest to beautify the city of San Francisco; at her death in 1929 Coit left one-third of her estate to the city for civic beautification.

The tower was proposed in 1931 as an appropriate use of Coit's gift. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 2008
