"So this is one of the only porches on building two that has remained open air for its entire history. And as a result, it needed a lot of work," Thompson said. "In particular, these spindles, which we had hand turned, by a local craftsman. And we actually found some of the original spindles elsewhere in the building. So we had those restored and then the columns themselves."

Picnic Like a Pro As we head toward Labor Day weekend, there's no better time to gather in the great outdoors. A meal eaten al fresco - whether on a blanket at the Main Parade Lawn, or at Presidio Tunnel Tops or the new Outpost Meadow Picnic Area - is a great way to connect with friends and family and enjoy all the beauty the park has to offer.
