Synopsis
Adolph Sutro wanted to make San Francisco's Pacific seaside accessible to all of the city's residents. To do this, he built a railroad; an elaborate, glass-covered Victorian bath house; the Cliff House, a luxurious dining and dancing spot; and lush, sculpture-studded gardens. This book includes some of the best photographs of these creations, drawn from Bay Area archives, and the text puts them in the context of their times.

[From back cover] This album of historical photographs brings back the good old days at the San Francisco seaside: feeding the fawns at Sutro Heights or climbing to the highest turret of the castle-like Cliff House, celebrating birthdays among the slides and pools of Sutro Baths, picnicking on Ocean Beach or braving the roller coasters at Playland. While the city's seaside is much-changed since then, the magic it once conjured for many a San Franciscan or out-of-towner remains in the pictures in this book and in many a family album as well.
