Coit Tower, built in 1933, was a testament to the philanthropy of Lillian Hitchcock Coit, a well-known patroness of San Francisco’s volunteer firefighters. Inspired by her admiration and support for the firefighting community, Lillian bequeathed funds for the tower’s construction in her will. Her connection with the Knickerbocker Engine Company Number Five, dating back to her teenage years, fueled her passion for the project. The tower stands as a lasting tribute to the valiant efforts of volunteer firefighters, embodying Lillian’s commitment to honoring their service. Its form is said to resemble the nozzle of a fire fighting hose!

She has exhibited at the San Francisco Museum, the Crocker Museum in Sacramento, Rosicrucian Museum in San Jose, Richmond Art Center and De Young Museum of San Francisco.
Known as a Cubist and Colorist, Kalisch’s career as an artist began in the 1950s. She received many awards during her lifetime, including Purchase Awards at the California State Fair in 1957 and the San Francisco Art Festival in 1964.
