Newscopy: "San Francisco's 'stored' art treasures are where you find them. Here a lone peacock views the heroic 15-foot black granite whales which formed a fountain at the San Francisco Court of the 1939-40 Golden Gate International Exposition. It has been gathering dust and grime for some 12 years behind the old stable at the west end of Golden Gate Park. Some day it will be placed in front of Steinhart Aquarium."
