Atop one of San Francisco’s secret viewpoints, there’s a mysterious drawing where an old water tower once sat.

The water tower was taken down in 1957 and the land sold in 1960. The city of San Francisco bought the land back in 1977, but locals aren’t sure when the cultish looking image appeared and how large it was at its genesis.

Know Before You Go

You can access Tank Hill from two sides: Ashbury Heights or Clarendon Heights/Twin Peaks.
