Angel Island: Take a ferry boat, go for a hike, and visit the Immigration Station Angel Island State Park, the largest island in the San Francisco Bay offers some of the best views of the surrounding Bay Area. With great hiking trails and many other recreational opportunities readily available, Angel Island is truly a hidden gem in the midst of the urban Bay Area. Notably, from 1910 to 1940, the U.S. Immigration Station processed hundreds of thousands of immigrants- the majority from China. During World War II, Japanese, and German POWs were detained at the Station before being sent to facilities farther inland. General Information: (415) 435-5537 or visit: https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=468 2. Lands End Trail from the Cliff House to Fort Mason: approximately 6 miles of stunning hiking. Take a bus or taxi to the Cliff House, a restaurant perched above the cliffs, just north of Ocean Beach. Meander past the Seal Rocks, Sutro Baths, the Legion of Honor Museum, and along cliffs with gorgeous vistas of the Marin Headlands and the Golden Gate Bridge. Take a taxi or a bus back to Union Square from Fort Mason, or stop in at Greens restaurant – vegetarian, but you won’t miss the meat! Visit: http://www.parksconservancy.org/assets/visit-your-parks/park- sites/pdfs/image_1_2474.pdf 3. Ocean Beach and Baker Beach: surf and sand near the feet of the Golden Gate Bridge Keep in mind that San Francisco is known for its fog, so even on a warm day, the beach may be chilly. That said, Ocean and Baker are nice beaches to check out, and have gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Go fly a kite or toss a Frisbee around! For Ocean Beach, visit: http://www.parksconservancy.org/visit/park-sites/ocean- beach.html For Baker Beach, visit: http://www.parksconservancy.org/visit/park-sites/baker- beach.html 4. Telegraph Hill and Coit Tower- Beautiful hilly walk in the center of San Francisco Begin at Embarcadero at the bottom of Telegraph Hill. Walk up the built-in steps and listen for the famous wild parrots of Telegraph Hill. Beware, though. The hill is steep, but you can stop to rest and admire the gardens along the staircase. You’ll end at Coit Tower, an emblem of the San Francisco skyline with 1934 murals and an observation deck with views of the city and the Bay. Visit: http://sfrecpark.org/destination/telegraph-hill-pioneer-park/coit-tower/ 5. Golden Gate Park – walking, jogging, rollerblading, other attractions. This is the third most visited park in the United States. The park is free to visit during the day, however popular attractions charge admission, such as deYoung Museum, California Academy of Sciences and Conservatory of Flowers. The park is filled with gardens, museums, art, flowers, trees, lakes, birds and wildlife. Visit: http://www.golden-gate-park.com/ 6. Mount Davidson: an easy, 1 mile round trip hike of SF’s highest of its 44 hills (927 feet). Take a cab or bus to the junction of Dalewood and Lansdale, or the BART to Glen Park and walk from there. The top offers views (barring fog, of course) of San Bruno mountain to the south, and the city to the north and east. Visit: http://www.mountdavidsoncross.org 7. McClaren Park: a 1.6 mile, hilly ramble through San Francisco’s largest park. Allow 1 hour. A 317-acre park that feels more like an open space preserve than a park in the center of the city. Visit: http://www.bahiker.com/sfhikes/mclaren.html Further Afield/Outside the City 8. Redwood Regional Park (Oakland): gorgeous redwoods surround you on countless hiking trails (all levels) This hidden gem is close to San Francisco and much less crowded than Muir Woods (see below). The Stream Trail hike is flat and takes you under the shelter of the great redwoods. Other hikes stemming off of it take you up into the hills. Bring a picnic! There are tables sprinkled throughout the various trails. The main entrance, Redwood Gate, is on Redwood Road in Oakland about two miles east of Skyline Blvd. Visit: http://www.ebparks.org/parks/redwood#about 9. Marin Headlands (North): hiking, biking and exploring just across the Golden Gate Bridge. One of the most unique areas in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the Marin Headlands carries a long history- from the Miwok Indians to the Military, including historic Fort Barry and Fort Cronkhite, the NIKE Missile site, and the 150-year-old Point Bonita lighthouse. Other attractions include varied hiking trails, dog friendly Rodeo Beach, and astonishing views of the coast and San Francisco. Visit: http://www.nps.gov/goga/marin-headlands.htm and http://www.parksconservancy.org/visit/park-sites/marin-headlands.html 10. Muir Woods (North): stroll under giant, majestic redwoods. Old growth coastal redwoods that are found only between Monterey, California, and Oregon along the Pacific coast. Muir Woods is just 12 miles north of the city. The monument has easy paved trails with lots of information, a gift shop and facilities. Try to arrive early in the morning because the parking lots fill up. Visit: http://www.nps.gov/muwo/index.htm and http://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/upload/map-muwo-2.pdf 11. San Bruno Mountain (South): 12 miles of hiking, riding and jogging trails on the peninsula. San Bruno Mountain Park is a landmark of local and regional significance, standing as a unique open-space island in the midst of the peninsula's urbanization at the northern end of the Santa Cruz Mountain Range. The mountain's ridge line runs in an east-west configuration, with considerable slopes and elevations ranging from 250 feet to 1,314 feet at the summit. The 2,326 acres of rugged landscape offer excellent hiking opportunities and outstanding views of San Francisco and the Central Bay Area.

  • Oral History Interview with Maxine Albro and Parker Hall, 1964 July 27
    Oral history interview with Maxine Albro and Parker Hall, 1964 July 27 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW WITH MAXINE ALBRO HALL AND PARKER HALL CONDUCTED JULY 27, 1964, BY MARY MCCHESNEY, IN CARMEL, CALIF. Interview MARY McCHENSNEY: First, I'd like to ask you a few questions about where you had your art school training. According to this little brochure that you have from your last exhibition, which was in January this year, did you say you studied in San Francisco? MAXINE ALBRO: Well -- first I began at the California School of Fine Arts and then I went for one winter to the Art Students League in New York. Then the next year I went to the Ecole de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris and then after coming home, I decided to go to Mexico and study with Diego Rivera. I did get down to Mexico and I did study fresco painting with Diego's assistant but I never studied with Diego, himself. I watched him (Diego) as he worked and got acquainted with him and we talked a little bit, a little bit in Spanish, a little bit in English. I enjoyed talking and watching him but I never studied with Diego. Although watching Diego was very beneficial to me. MS. McCHESNEY: What was the name of the man you studied with, Diego's assistant? MS. ALBRO: Paul O'Higgins was his assistant. He was an American young man and helped Diego in many ways.

  • Historic and Conservation Districts in San Francisco
    SAN FRANCISCO PRESERVATION BULLETIN NO. 10 HISTORIC AND CONSERVATION DISTRICTS IN SAN FRANCISCO HISTORIC DISTRICTS -- INTRODUCTION Over the past thirty-five years, the City and County of San Francisco has designated eleven historic districts and six conservation districts and has recognized approximately 30 districts included in the California Register of Historical Resources, the National Register of Historic Places, or named as National Historic Landmark districts. These districts encompass nationally significant areas such as Civic Center and the Presidio National Park; the City’s first commercial center in Jackson Square; warehouse districts such as the Northeast Waterfront and the South End; and residential areas such as Telegraph Hill, Liberty Hill, Alamo Square, Bush Street-Cottage Row and Webster Street. In general, an historic district is a collection of resources (buildings, structures, sites or objects) that are historically, architecturally and/or culturally significant. As an ensemble, resources in an historic district are worthy of protection because of what they collectively tell us about the past. Often, a limited number of architectural styles and types are represented because an historic district is typically developed around a central theme or period of significance. For instance, the theme for a proposed historic district might be “Late 19th century Victorian housing, designed in the Queen Anne style.” Period of significance refers to the span of time during which significant events and activities occurred within the historic district. Events and associations with historic properties are finite; most resources within an historic district have a clearly definable period of significance. A high percentage of buildings located within districts contribute to the understanding of a neighborhood’s or area’s evolution and development through integrity.
