Veterans Fight Proposition C

SAN FRANCISCO-A $123 million bond measure to renovate San Francisco's historic Veterans War Memorial Building would add more space for the performing arts groups of the buildings, at the expense of the veteran tenants.

SAN FRANCISCO-A $123 million bond measure to renovate San Francisco’s historic Veterans War Memorial Building will be placed on this week’s ballot but local veterans are fighting the measure, saying it will take away their space.

The Veterans War Memorial Building is a four-story, 180,000-sf building on Van Ness Avenue, directly across from City Hall. The building was built in 1930 in honor of all men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Most of the tenants of the War Memorial complex are beneficiaries of the War Memorial Trust Agreement of 1921. These tenants pay small rental fees to the War Memorial department for performance, office, service and storage space in the building. These tenants include the San Francisco Opera; Veteran’s for Peace; the San Francisco Symphony; the San Francisco Ballet; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the San Francisco Arts Commission. The complex also houses the Herbst Theater and the Green Room.
