Iconic San Francisco buildings get their boo on for Halloween

Editor's Note: This post was originally published in October 2016. We are republishing it in honor of spooktacular holiday spirit.

San Francisco famously loves Halloween, and young and old will be dressed in creative costumes beginning this weekend (we expect to see Donald Trump, Wonder Woman, and various emojis walking the streets). We started thinking: Why should the living, breathing residents of SF have all the fun? Why not give some of the city's oldest and most respected citizens a new look on the eve of the scariest day of the year? In that spirit, we've dressed up a few of the city's most recognizable buildings in boo-itful holiday style.
