Architect George ApplegarthÃâ ‚ ¬Ã¢ „s design for the California Palace of the Legion of Honor was a three-quarter-scaled adaption of the 18th-century Parisian original, incorporating the most advanced ideas in museum construction. High on the headlands above the Golden GateÃâ ‚ ¬Ã¢ €?where the Pacific Ocean spills into San Francisco BayÃâ ‚ ¬Ã¢ €?stands the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, the gift of Alma de Bretteville Spreckels to the city of San Francisco. Located in Lincoln Park, this unique art museum is one of the great treasures in a city that boasts many riches.
