Hijde Street Pier, Alcatraz in backffround. Any visit to San Francisco would not be complete without cool fog, steep hills and a ride on a historic cable car. San Francisco's cable cars are unique in that they were invented in San Francisco in 1873 and the only remaining working cable car system in the world is in San Francisco. The history of the cable car is as colorful and interesting as the history of San Francisco and both have fought many 'uphill' battles to remain intact. The nation's only moving national historic landmarks, the cable cars still run on 8.8 miles of track along three of their original hundred-year-old routes. These motorless carriages travel by gripping onto the constantly-running underground cable on the ascent and releasing on the descent. Average speed: 9 1/2 miles per hour. Steepest grade: 21.3%. Though it has been a long and winding road for the cable car, it has proven itself to be a part of the heart of San Francisco. 31 ~o en oo S cn oo oo r^> CD a O GO CJi Q) O -n o CD Q3 o zr o o> < > ^ co go CD CO -a S > 3 33 — ~n O s « oo O 3 < > CO CO cz mm SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY 2 0 0 0 AGRICULTURAL CROP REPORT SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER ASSURANCE STAFF Agricultural Commissioner/Director David C.

Four different variations of this building have stood on the cliffs overlooking Seal Rocks, at the northwest corner of San Francisco. The original Cliff House was a mod- est structure built by Masters Butler and Buckley in 1863. In 1881, the Cliff House was sold to millionaire philanthropist Adolph Sutro. It was destroyed by fire in 1894. Sutro spent over $50,000 to rebuild the Cliff House in 1896. The beautifully renovated structure was 8 stories tall with spires and a large observa- tion tower. The building was magnificent and very popular with San Franciscans and visitors from around the world. The building survived the 1906 earthquake with little damage but was destroyed again by massive fire in 1907. Sutro's daughter Emma had the Cliff House rebuilt in 1909 into a more simple design, similar to the original srtucture. Two world wars and the Depression left the Cliff House in neglect and it was sold in 1952 to a gentelman named George Whitney. It was remodeled several times and later sold to the National Park Service in 1977. The current Cliff House and its restaurant are open to the public and it is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It is a very popular tourist destination and a symbol of San Francisco's magnificent past.

Its architect was Henry Howard, working for the firm of Arthur Brown, Jr., which created San Francisco's City Hall and Opera House. Contrary to popular belief, it was never intended to resemble a fire hose nozzle. Howard's simple, vertical design was selected because it best created a monumental statement given the small site and small budget of $125,000, and because it complemented the proportions of the hill. The tower rests on a base originally intended to be a restaurant housing temporary exhibitions. To avoid looking top-heavy , the shaft is 18" narrower in diameter at the top than at the bottom, a refinement which required shaving the wooden forms used for pouring the top concrete sections. The flutes give strength to the design and lead well into the series of arches at the top. The tower, with its symmetrical simplicity and sleek linearism, achieves a successful union of classicism and Art Deco. It was completed in 1933. * from "The Story of Coit Tower" r tn Ln > m § 2*§ 1 1 ° n < Q- n -n § 3 — O n o I 9 § j o" 3 O PRESORTED FIRST CLASS INJ a ro m cr T3 CT..3 CO — H San Francisco County Agricultural Crop Report 1996 DOCUMENTS DEPT.

It was built from a donation from the wealthy San Franciscan Spreckels family in 1920, and dedicated on Abraham Lincoln's birthday in 1921. It is arguably the best museum in San Francisco, beautifully located, with the romantic setting, graceful architecture and colonnaded courtyard with Rodin's Thinker in the middle combined to lend a truly elegant impression. Its permanent collection includes a strong Renaissance influence, represented with the works of Titian, El Greco and sculpture from Giambologna. Great canvases by Rembrandt and Hals are highlights of the seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish collection, as is Ruben's magnificent Tribute Money. The impressionist and post-impressionist galleries contain works by Courbet, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas and Cezanne, and there is also one the of world's finest assemblies of Rodin sculptures, with bronze, porcelain and stone pieces such as The Athlete, Fugit Amor, The Severed Head of John the Baptist and Fallen Angel, as well as a small cast of The Kiss. c C/3 pa O 3 ^ ^ n pa c/> 3 pa n n > pa CD N 2 c/5 c f B pa 5 a. i— n n c 3 3 or' 3 t/5 ^ C/2 > a o 2 55 ^ PS v© © o SSI****! *********** SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Agricultural Commissioner/Director of Weights and Measures David C.

The legislation mandates San Francisco City and County Departments to adopt IPM policies, and reduce or eliminate pesticide use on all property owned by San Francisco. San Francisco Airport in San Mateo County, Camp Mather in Mariposa County and various bay area properties managed by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission are all required to follow ordinance mandates. The San Francisco Agricultural Commissioner's Office has assisted City/County Departments in implementing this ordinance. San Francisco City and County Departments have modified pest control practices in the following ways: • Exclusive use of baits in structural pest control • Flea traps as monitoring devices in city offices • Wildflower planting in right of way median strips on San Francisco city streets • Solorization in flower beds for weed control in Golden Gate Park • Biological control projects in the Golden Gate Park Conservatory • Introduction of Barn Owls in Golden Gate Park • Weed flamers to reduce herbicide use • Implemented date, pest, site, applicator and pesticide specific computer data base system for all City and County pesticide applications • Eliminated all pesticides on California's Prop 65 and the USEPA list of known, suspected or probable carcinogens • Posting of pesticide applications 4 days prior to use; permanent signs for baits and right of way • After 2000, only pesticides from approved list will be used on City and County property San Francisco City Hall has often been referred to as "The Crown Jewel" of the finest ensemble of classical architecture in America. It was originally opened in 1915, and is now designated a national landmark. Many regard it as one of the most important buildings in America. 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. The first thing one notices is the massive size of City Hall which encom- passes two full city blocks. Its dome is one of the largest in the world, rising three hundred and six feet above the civic center national historic district. The building itself totals over 500,000 square feet. In 1989, City Hall, along with many other buildings, was damaged in the Loma Prieta earthquake. The engineers recommended a base isolation system to strengthen the building against future damage. During an earthquake the massive dome acts as a pendulum. A base isolation system separates the building from the ground, thus interrupting the energy before it enters the structure and accelerates the dome. This is done with the installation of rubber and steel discs (base isolators) under each column. A four-foot moat around the building allows it to move side to side without being attached to the earth. City Hall is now the largest base isolated building in the world and the only isolated national landmark. It has now been designed to remain in operation even after a great earthquake. Construction work on the seismic system began in March of 1995 and is now complete. oo o o OT ^ L/O < — ■> tt — i a r-« C= — n - ^ a o cT =3 i— » a — • ADl) o o CD 3 o OO mis unt < «✓» -< o" CD uo c= CD o 3e> ESK w/ ANNUAL REPORTS San Francisco County CASF ^ Department qf Consumer ASSURANCE REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND AGRICULTURAL STANDARDS SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY Secretary, William (Bill) Lyons DOCUMENTS DEPT.

Just a short walk from downtown San Francisco and located on the City's scenic waterfront, the ballpark will return baseball to the heart of a city which has almost 150 years of baseball history. It is a classic urban ballpark with an old-time feel and all the amenities of modern ballparks. It is inspired by Wrigley Field and Fenway Park and modeled after Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Jacobs Field and Coors Field. f 4; ' • 3?
