- Title: Guilded Dome at City Hall
- Description: Construction of the modern version of San Francisco City Hall began in 1913 and finished in 1915. This was to coincide with the World’s Fair (Panama-Pacific International Exposition). Designed by the same architect that envisioned Coit Tower, Arthur Brown Jr. The building encompasses over 500,000 square feet, and became one of the best examples of French Renaissance architecture in the United States. Exterior metal trim is of iron work, painted blue and gold. The dome is of copper, laid over wooden backing on a steel frame. The rotunda has been the scene of many ceremonies, ranging from inaugurations, receptions for visiting presidents, kings and queens, state funerals, memorial services, exhibits, balls and musicals. The Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 resulted in significant damage to the building. The dome rotated 4 inches on its base and the city decided to add special earthquake retrofitting.
