San Francisco's Coit Tower (WC)

San Francisco's Coit Tower is a matted and framed original watercolor & ink painting by Mike Robles.
It was painted with artist quality watercolors and inks on Arches CP Watercolor paper.
Coit Tower, also known as the Lillian Coit Memorial Tower, is a 210-foot tower on Telegraph Hill. The tower was built in 1933 and was paid for with money left to the City by Lillie Hitchcock Coit, a wealthy socialite who loved to chase fires in the early days of the city's history (1860-1870). Lillie Coit was one of the more eccentric characters in the history of North Beach and Telegraph Hill, smoking cigars and wearing trousers long before it was socially acceptable for women to do so. She was an avid gambler and often dressed like a man in order to gamble in the males-only establishments that dotted North Beach.
