Barb Gates (PhotoscapeDesign) > Alcatraz - Warden's House [D]

An impressive Mission Revival-style home built in the 1920's, the Warden's House had 17 large rooms with windows that provided fabulous views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline.  It was originally the home of the military prison commander.

In 1970, fire ravaged the building, leaving the shell that can be seen today.
