San Francisco Chronicle photographer Joseph Rosenthal lived in this house in 1947. On February 23, 1945 he took one of the most iconic photographs of all-time. On the summit of Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima, Rosenthal discovered and photographed a group of U.S. Marines preparing to raise the American flag after an intense battle for the island. Rosenthal's photo is the only photograph to win the Pulitzer Prize for Photography (1945) in the same year it was taken. He worked at the San Francisco Chronicle from 1946 until he retired in 1981. Rosenthal passed away in 2006.
