Golden fire hydrant

  • Address: Church and 20th Sts., southeast corner, across from Dolores Park, San Francisco, CA | Map It

Fodor's Review:

When all the other fire hydrants went dry during the fire that followed the 1906 earthquake, this one kept pumping. Noe Valley and the Mission District were thus spared the devastation wrought elsewhere in the city, which explains the large number of prequake homes here.
