Description
Demolished old buildings, landscaped, surfaced walks and paths. As the photographs show, this work did much to restore and enhance the beauty of the park. This was the estate of the former mayor of San Francisco, Adolph Sutro. The many statues brought from Europe were thoroughly cleaned and repaired under this project. The site commands a marvelous view.–Healy, p. 58.
