A huge scale model of the City by the Bay made by artists during the Great Depression will go on display later this year.

After years of searching and an attempt to locate the model in Ingleside, the San Francisco Scale Model Project announced that a home has been found for the 1,500-square-foot wooden model of San Francisco.

The San Francisco Scale Model is expected to be put on display at the forthcoming Art + Water arts venue in Pier 29 this winter. It will be the first time in over 80 years that the 125 sections of the artist-made model will be shown together.
