Review:
San Francisco City Hall serves as the official seat of government for both the City and the County of San Francisco, located within a splendid Beaux Arts-style building that was designed by architect Arthur Brown, Jr. in advance of the 1915 World's Fair. The building has been the site of many significant political and civic events throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, including the 1979 assassinations of city mayor George Moscone and city supervisor Harvey Milk. It is recognized around the world for its beautiful 307-foot dome, standing 42 feet taller than the comparable dome of the United States Capitol Building. One-hour free guided tours of the building are offered Monday through Friday during the morning and early afternoon hours with advance registration. Visitors can also view a number of free exhibits on the city's civic history, including exhibits about the building's construction and development.
