Unfinished History
Treasure Island taking shape in 1938. After two years as a celebratory World's Fair, it became a military base at the outset of WWII. San Francisco is currently seeking a large private developer to reconfigure it for civilian use, probably a theme park company. Yerba Buena Island ("Goat Island") is at left of center.
