Main Post Update

Time to pull our hair out.

The “newest” proposal for the contemporary art museum at the Presidio takes the previous profoundly objectionable idea for a modern structure at the head of the Main Post Parade Ground in the middle of a National Historic Landmark District, increases the size by 40% to 140,000 square feet, moves it across the street, demolishes the bowling alley and other existing structures, and continues to have nothing to do with the Presidio’s natural environment and cultural heritage. Are we happy now?

The Presidio Trust has some new ideas for the Main Post.

Thoughtful analysis provided.
