Moscone Center is located at 747 Howard Street in San Francisco, California. It is the largest exhibition space in the city. There are three large halls, of which two are underground and beneath the Yerba Buena Gardens, called Moscone South and Moscone North. The third one is a three-story exhibition hall across the 4th Street referred to as Moscone West. Moscone South was the first hall developed in 1981. It was designed by Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum. The place is named after the former mayor of the city, George Moscone. He was assassinated in 1978. Incidentally, George Moscone was against the idea of developing the area that would lead to the inevitable displacement of the poor and elderly residents.
