Forest Hill Station is a Muni Metro station near the Forest Hill and Laguna Honda neighborhoods in San Francisco, California. It was originally built as part of the Twin Peaks Tunnel in 1916-1918, and is the oldest subway station west of Chicago. The station was originally named Laguna Honda; lettering with that former name is carved on the station headhouse.Scenes from the films Dirty Harry (1971) and Milk (2008) were shot inside of this station.Station layout and architectureForest Hill Station was built in a "restrained classical revival" style which has remained largely unaltered to the present. There are also a few decorative features suggestive of an Art Nouveau esthetic, for example malachite colored accents placed over the elevator doors.The station consists of two side platforms next to the tracks far below the surface. Forest Hill Station is located deeper underground than any other Muni Metro station; so much so that, unlike other stations, most people use an elevator to reach the platform at Forest Hill. Unlike all other underground Muni Metro stations, there is no underground concourse mezzanine level directly above the platform level. Instead, the concourse level is in a station building on the surface.
