SAN FRANCISCO -- An 85-foot eucalyptus tree toppled onto the historic Trocadero Clubhouse in San Francisco's Sigmund Stern Grove early Saturday morning, severely damaging the landmark building, the city's Recreation and Park Department announced.
In a press statement, the department said rangers responding to an alarm at the Trocadero Clubhouse at 5:30 a.m. found the building's roof partially crushed and the interior flooded with water from the damaged sprinkler system. The building, a popular site for events with a colorful history, was subsequently red-tagged. "This is soul crushing.
The Trocadero was designated as a San Francisco landmark last year by the Board of Supervisors. It was built in 1892 and according to the Rec and Parks department,"boasts a colorful history as a roadhouse at the turn of the 20th century, when it offered dancing and gambling at roulette tables." It is believed to be the city's last intact example of a 19th century roadhouse.
