The old Sylva mansion in Sausalito, Ca. Built in 1897, it was the home of Adolph Sylva a notorious political boss at the turn of the century. Sylva was a Latin and Greek scholar, musician, actor, chicken farmer, lawyer and politician. He was Town Trustee and eventually the Mayor of Sausalito, although his career included accusations of corruption and illegal activities. In 1901 an assassination attempt on Sylva failed when an explosive device was thrown at the house but instead exploded in a tree. The house gained even more notoriety in 1932 when Lester Gillis (aka. George "Baby Face" Nelson), the infamous Chicago gangster, lived in the mansion when he fled to the West Coast after escaping from Joliet State Prison.

View of the Golden Gate Bridge from Fort Baker showing low fog and Lime Point fog station in lower center. The fog station was built in 1883 with a one story fog signal building and a two story keeper's dwelling. The original fog horns were steam powered by coal fired boilers. A light was added to the station in 1900. The dwelling building evolved to a three story building and additional outbuildings. They were all dismantled when the station became automated in 1961 and all that remains today is the original signal building.
