Alcatraz Morgue
Alcatraz Morgue is the morgue on Alcatraz Island, off the coast of San Francisco, California, United States. It is located on the northwestern side of the island towards the centre, halfway between the Alcatraz Water Tower and the Dining Hall, below the side of the Recreation Yard.
Why it's on the map
The morgue was built in 1910 by the U.S. military on a site which was formerly the entrance to a tunnel which was used by soldiers from the 1870s to cross to the opposite side of the island.
It is described as "one of the simplest expressions of the mission revival style on Alcatraz." The morgue was built with three vaults and an examination table, with a steel door and a grated skylight.
