Befitting for October being LGBTQ History Month San Francisco supervisors have granted city landmark status to the first local site related to leather history.
At its meeting October 19, the Board of Supervisors finalized granting the designation to the gay-owned Eagle bar. It is the second leather bar in the U.S.
of the same name to become a local landmark. The unanimous vote by the supervisors during their meeting had been expected, as they had granted preliminary approval for landmarking the South of Market establishment two weeks ago, as the Bay Area Reporter previously reported.
Because city landmarks are granted via an ordinance, the supervisors needed to vote a second time to make the Eagle landmark official.
