Baths, Sutro-style

Posted on October 13th, 2009 by steve

‘I must have it large, pretentious, in keeping with the environment, with the Heights, with the great ocean itself  . . . ‘ -Adolph Sutro (1830-98), engineer, philanthropist, mayor of San Francisco

The ruins of San Francisco’s Sutro Baths (1896-1966) are fun to wander thru. Here’s some photosets on Flickr.

Sutro’s Cliff House was located just next door.

    I used to live in the Richmond area of SF. Was always intrigued by the Sutro ruins.
