The real place

Coit Tower was finished in 1933 with money left to the city by Lillie Hitchcock Coit. The murals inside were painted in 1934 by local artists under a New Deal art programme and show working life in Depression-era California.

Visiting

Walk up the Filbert Steps from Sansome Street through the hillside gardens. The ground-floor murals are free to see; the lift to the top needs a ticket.
