Civic Center's Grand Design Walking Tour
Movie Palaces and Architectural Styles
with Monika Trobits
Meet in front of the Orpheum Theatre on Market Street (Civic Center MUNI/BART station). Long more than just a center for government-oriented business, the Civic Center also offers an array of architectural designs. Monika will talk about the "City Beautiful" movement and the various architects who applied it to Civic Center, the remnants of the movie theatres that once lined Market Street, and the many city halls that San Francisco has had. The tour ends at Fox Plaza, former site of the Fox Theatre.
All SFMHS Walking Tours are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. Tours last an average of two hours and may involve some hills. Please be considerate of your fellow guests and leave pets and younger children at home.
