Why Go
Built in 1933 with a bequest from Lillie Hitchcock Coit, the tower's lobby is covered in murals of California life painted by 26 artists under a New Deal program. An elevator rises to an open observation deck over the bay and bridges. Telegraph Hill's wild parrots live in the gardens along the Filbert Steps below.
