The 5.8-acre island near the Richmond Bridge has had many owners and has been for sale many times.
in 1916, San Francisco Police Inspector Arthur B. Riehl explored the rocky outcrop searching for dynamite. He didn’t find any clues, but the discovery of mineral possibilities led him to file a mining claim. After it was accepted, he became the first legal owner of the island in 1923.

Glickman, who was the son of Frank Lloyd Wright engineer Mendel Glickman, told the Examiner that year that he planned to build a clubhouse, restaurant and cocktail lounge on the land after leveling it. Later reports said he was considering building a 25-story high-rise on the site with “community apartments” and a “sea-going hotel,” topped by a restaurant and cocktail lounge.
There was one alleged high-profile prospective buyer. Durning told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2009 that infamous former Oregon commune leader Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh planned to purchase the island until he was deported in 1985. His organization poisoned hundreds of people with salmonella in order to influence local elections, and faced allegations of an attempted murder plot.
