Sign Hill, South San Francisco | Additional Description:
In April 1929 the Cement Gun Construction Company of South San Francisco made the letters permanent at a cost of $4,845 after the voters approved (by a margin of 3 to 1) a 7 cents city tax for this purpose. The Chamber felt the sign was the best advertising the city could have and in 1996, through the efforts of Edna Harks, town historian and archivist, Sign Hill was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of the Office of Historic Preservation. - City of South San Francisco
