The Plaque Reads
Rincon Hill
A fashionable neighborhood in the 1880's, Rincon Hill was the home
of William Tecumseh Sherman, William C. Ralston, William Gwin,
H.H. Bancroft and others. By the 1880's the hill, already partially
leveled, became a working class district. Today it is nearly
invisible beneath the Bay Bridge. This plaques is mounted on the
retaining wall of St. Mary's Hospital, built in 1861 but destroyed
in the fire of 1906.<
