I posted the link to the San Francisco Fox website here quite some time ago--thanks for keeping its memory alive. Here is an interesting booklet that includes amazing structural facts, including that the theater was built to support a 19-story hotel over it! The loss of this structure, acclaimed by many to have been the finest theater ever built, was tragic. It was gone before I first lived in San Francisco, but its name lives on in Fox Plaza.
