Model Industries Building

As part of the Alcatraz jail, it held workshops for inmates to work in.

On January 10, 1935, the building shifted to within 2.5 feet from the edge of the cliff following a landslide caused by a severe storm.

The warden at the time, James A. Johnston, proposed to extend the seawall next to it and asked the Bureau for $6500 to fund it.

Today the building is heavily rusted due decades of exposure to the salt air and wind and the Hill Tower no longer exists.

The guard tower formerly located on top of the building now sits across from the Power plant where it is on display.
