The Laguna Honda Reservoir sits within a deep, bowl-shaped depression, marked by a sturdy concrete retaining wall that holds back millions of gallons of water. When the city built this basin in eighteen seventy-five, they captured a natural spring that had served the local mission padres and travelers for decades. The structure keeps its original footprint, tucked into the hillside as a critical link in San Francisco’s emergency water supply, still feeding the pipes that snake through the nearby neighborhoods.
