Artifact 314Description
Small metal (likely bronze) plaque set in sidewalk in public access area in front of historic plaque Artifact 313.
Text explains that the Dolphin Club maintains this area dedicated to public access to the bay shoreline. This sign was required as part of public access provisions in the SF Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) permit Nr. 1987-005 for the construction of the new boat house and other work in the late 1980s into the 1990.
See: Artifact 313, a larger plaque on west wall of building near SW corner on activities and history of the club, also a requirement from the permit.
See: Architectural Plans and Drawings 011 which includes 25 page .pdf.
This plaque is part of the story of the expansion of the Dolphin Club building onto the site of the old Ariel Club (San Francisco Rowing Club) boathouse, following the fire that destroyed the Ariel Club and damaged the Dolphin Club in November 1980.
