The looming broadcast antenna complex that is Sutro Tower is celebrating 50 years of service this July 4.
SAN FRANCISCO -- At 977 feet, Sutro Tower looms over San Francisco. On a clear day it can be seen from just about anywhere in the city and, while the structure itself hasn't changed much in its 50 years of service, its status as a city symbol certainly has.
"The first design of the thing was a more conventional tower," King said."But this one has sort of an odd, creature-like presence.""Some people were afraid of Sutro Tower. They thought it might fall," said Dave Hyams, Sutro Tower director of communications, speaking to KPIX in 2013."They were afraid of waves."
"This Sutro Tower is one of two things in the store that are not for sale," laughed Skot Land, manager of a store called Local Take selling city-theme items in the Castro District."I am the other one.""I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking it deserves the icon status it's gotten," Land said.
