Landmark 179
Beach Chalet
1000 Great Highway
Golden Gate Park
Built 1925
The Beach Chalet is situated near the Dutch Windmill in Golden Gate Park.
It was designed by Willis Polk and opened in 1925 with a lounge and changing rooms on the first floor and a restaurant on the second floor.
The murals, mosaics and wood carvings were executed a decade later during the Great Depression, funded by President Franklin Roosevelt's Works
Progress Administration economic stimulus.
Today the Beach Chalet is a good place to relax with a microbrew and fish and chips after exploring Golden Gate Park.
