Sutro Mansion ("La Avanzada" or "Sutro's Castle") built by Adolph G. Sutro (grandson of Mayor Adolph Sutro) atop Mount Sutro in 1930 (designed by architect Harold G. Stoner). KGO-TV first signed on the air on May 5, 1949, and its studio was in the former Sutro residence, site of current Sutro Tower.
