In 1922, philanthropist and president of the San Francisco Parks Commission, Herbert Fleishhacker, purchased a 60-acre site in southwestern San Francisco. Fleishhacker Pool was built in 1925 and an adjoining zoo added in 1929. Originally called Fleishhacker Zoo, it featured a variety of exotic wildlife. Major exhibits were built in the 1930s Depression era as part of the Work Progress Administration (WPA). This book celebrates the San Francisco Zoo's 80-year history as it revisits cherished animals and structures like Monkey Island, Storyland, and Dentzel Carousel. The zoo holds a special place in the hearts of many, as it is a great San Francisco treasure along the foggy shores of Ocean Beach.

San Francisco Zoo, California (Images of America Series)
V. nice book of memories. i'd forgotten Storyland and the train to climb on. many of the photos don't have dates attached or names of the people in them. some are printed out of focus, i doubt that is the fault of the author though. one picture i wish wasn't in there was the destruction of Storyland, others will feel the same way about their favorite exhibits.
now i want to read a full biograhy/history of the zoo and Woodward's Gardens.
a thousand thank yous to Girlich for doing this book. (what ever happened to the train?)
