Wonderful architecture. Very pleasant walking in and around the statues and park. Nice hidden gem in San Francisco. Come in the morning at sunrise for the best photo opportunities.

This is a beautiful place to go for a walk. It is a magnificent building with artwork on the different pillars. There is a nice pond beside it as well.
