The War Memorial Complex - San Francisco Civic Center - San Francisco, CA - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

"The San Francisco War Memorial consists of a pair of very similar monumental Classical structures, the Opera House (309 Van Ness Avenue) and the Veterans Building (459 Van Ness Avenue), to either side of the formal Memorial Court. The complex is set in a double block bounded by Van Ness, McAllister, Franklin, and Grove Streets, and faces City Hall across Van Ness Avenue. The Opera House is erected on a steel frame with reinforced concrete floors arid walls. It is clad in terra cotta that simulates the granite used in its base, steps, and columns. The building is generally rectangular in shape, except for a high scenery loft at the rear and two staircase wings that project from the sides so near the front that they appear to be part of the main facade. There are four principal stories above ground and a leaded copper mansard roof." (visit link)
