	Coit Tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coit Tower is a notable landmark built at the bequest of Lillie Hitchcock Coit to beautify the City of San Francisco.
		The tower, which stands atop Telegraph Hill in San Francisco's Pioneer Park, offers fantastic views of San Francisco including the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park ("Aquatic Park"), Alcatraz, Pier 39, Angel Island, Treasure Island, the Bay Bridge, Russian Hill, the Financial District, and Nob Hill.
		Because Coit Tower is such a popular tourist attraction, at peak times, the street can be backed up a third or more of the way down the hill, and the wait to get to the top can reach 40 minutes or more.

		Completed in 1932, the tower is named after Lillie Hitchcock Coit, who left $118,000 for a monument to her beloved city.

		She was Lillie Hitchcock Coit, who was destined not only to become a legend but to attain that eminence long before her life ended.
		Coit died here in July 22, 1929, at the age of 86, she gave practical evidence of her affection for San Francisco.
		The novel appearance of the 180-foot cylindrical tower which stands atop Telegraph Hill is surely significant symbol to the memory of one whose individuality made her as outstanding an example of the contrast to her days as is this unusual form of memorial shaft.
