This is the famous "Coit Tower" which is also a lighthouse.

Though the architecture of Coit Tower is reminiscent of that of a traditional light house, it was in fact inspired by the fire nozzles used to fight the fires of the 1906 earthquake; Coit Tower is dedicated as a memorial to the firemen. To my knowledge, Coit Tower has never had a Fresnel Lens as is found in most traditional lighthouses. Dedicated in 1933, Coit tower, located at the summit of Telegraph Hill, does have a red aircraft clearance light at it's highest point--this is NOT intended as a navigation aid. (Jery Kergan)
