LandsEnd
LandsEnd.jpg - Ruins of the historic Cliff House and Suttro Bath are located near the Lands End point of northwestern San Francisco. The original Cliff House was built in 1863, but burned in 1894. It was replaced with a massive, Victorian-styte building in 1896 that was short-lived, it survived the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 only to burn in a raging fire the following year. Remnants of the baths now serve as tide pools amongst the ruins.
