The eastern span of the Bay Bridge goes right over Nimitz House, one of the most storied residences in San Francisco history.
As tens of thousands of drivers zip — or sometimes crawl — over the Bay Bridge every day, a forgotten mansion rests directly below them. The three-story white home, impossible to see from the bridge, was once the last residence of America’s greatest modern admiral. And, for a while, it was the historic roadblock in the way of the Bay Bridge’s new span.
California Governor James Rolph Jr., Former US President Herbert Hoover, and San Francisco Mayor Angelo Joseph Rossi stand in front of the Admiral's residence on Yerba Buena Island during the San Francisco Bay Bridge ground breaking on July 9, 1933.After World War II, Quarters 1’s most famous occupant moved in: Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. Nimitz was appointed to take command of the Pacific fleet days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

“It wasn’t exactly great poetry,” Ms. MacIntyre admitted. “I let them write what they wanted to write. I guess you’d say it came from their hearts.”
