In 1977,
a collection of former military warehouses and piers in the Marina were
reborn as Fort Mason Center. In the quarter
century since that time, Fort Mason has become one of the City's most vital
cultural centers and home to more than 40 resident organizations serving
more than 1.6 million visitors each year. Once a point of embarkation for
soldiers during World War II and the Korean War, Fort Mason Center is internationally
renowned as an example of historic preservation and successful reuse of
a former military installation. The center includes the Herbst Pavilion,
Festival Pavilion, Cowell Theatre, Pier One, meeting and activity rooms
such as a renovated firehouse, and Green's restaurant. The Oceanic Society,
Magic Theatre, Museo ItaloAmericano, Fund for Animals, California Lawyers
for the Arts, and the Museum of Craft & Folk Art are just a handful
of the great organizations based at here. If these details haven't convinced
that this place rocks, the great views and free parking
will.
