The iconic Coit Tower, recently named a “nationally significant” historic place on the National Register of Historic Places, turns 85 on Oct. 8.
“Coit Tower has been an emblem of San Francisco’s skyline for 85 years, and its beautiful murals portray what life was like for San Franciscans trying to make a living during the Great Depression,” said Phil Ginsburg, general manager of the city’s recreation and park department.
