Description
Telegraph Hill is one of the 44 hills in San Francisco, and one of its original "Seven Hills". It is located in the northeastern end of the city bounded by Vallejo St., Sansome St., Francisco St., and Powell and Columbus St. Originally used to alert local business people about incoming ships through the Golden Gate, it later became a fashionable residential area. The structure on top of the hill is the Coit Tower, built in 1932-33. The 210 foot art deco tower was dedicated to the volunteer firefighters who died in San Francisco's five major fires.
