View northwest across Market to Admission Day Monument (Native Sons Monument) in original location at Market, Mason and Turk Streets. Created by California sculptor Douglas Tilden and unveiled on September 5, 1897, it celebrates California's admission to the Union in 1850. In 1948 it was moved to Golden Gate Park, and in 1977 moved to its present location at Montgomery and Market. Five-story building at right is The Metropole, a lodging house built around 1883.
