''Coit tower<sup>[sic]</sup> stands 500 feet above the San Francisco Bay on top of Telegraph Hill.  The structure takes its name from Lillian Hitchcock Coit who donated $125,000 to have it built in 1934. The tower honors the San Francisco Fire Brigade. Shaped like a tall column, it is easy to see why people constantly remark that it resembles a fire hose. Inside, the tower is decorated with sixteen large murals. The 25 mural artists were commissioned as part of the 'make work' program designed to ease financial hardships during the Great Depression.
