San Francisco City Hall is referred to as “The Crown Jewel” of the city. Originally opened in 1915 it has been destroyed by fire three times. The architect was Arthur Brown Jr., who also designed San Francisco’s Opera House, Veterans Building, Temple Emanuel, Coit Tower and 50 United Nations Plaza.
Once again restored and reopened in 1999, the beautiful 24-carat gold dome soars 306 feet from the ground for the entire city to see. The grand public Light Courts on the main floor of the building have been restored to their original design with elegant marble walls and skylights spanning the entire 7,000 square foot space.
Buses will board between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
