Lillie Hitchcock Coit was a San Francisco icon—an eccentric socialite, a fierce supporter of firefighters, and a woman who defied conventions. At just 15, she famously helped a volunteer fire brigade, earning honorary firefighter status. Known for smoking cigars, gambling in men’s clubs, and embracing the city’s rebellious spirit, she left a lasting mark on SF.

Her legacy lives on through Coit Tower, built with funds she left to beautify the city. Now, Lillie Coit’s carries her name forward—bold, unconventional, and unapologetically San Francisco.
