Old City Hall

Description
Hastings' Board of Directors turned down an offer of a newly constructed facility on Parnassus Heights (present location of the UCSF campus) which had been offered to the College for its use by the University Regents. Instead they accepted a competing offer of San Francisco's Board of Supervisors to share space in the new City Hall, finished in 1899. Hastings Board preferred the less ample space because of its proximity to the 'law courts and San Francisco's Law Library.' Some may think this decision prescient because of the College's ultimate permanent location in the Civic Center Area. [see Barnes, p.148]
