Lone Mountain (California)
- Lone Mountain (California)
Lone Mountain is a hill in western San Francisco, California and is the site of the University of San Francisco (USF) - Lone Mountain Campus, which in turn was previously the San Francisco Lone Mountain College for Women. It was once the location of the Laurel Hill Cemetery, dedicated in 1854. In the early 1930s, San Francisco voted the cemetery out of existence, and workmen began the evacuation of forty-seven thousand graves. In what has been described as "an act of civic vandalism" by writer Harold Gilliam, thousands of crypts and mausoleums were unearthed, the granite and marble dumped in the sea to reinforce the seawalls.
