HOUSE PROJECT –
The goal of this website is to preserve the visual
imagery of Adolph Sutro’s Victorian Cliff House (1896 -1907). It
was neither the first structure nor the last to carry the name of Cliff
House, but it was certainly the most grand. A great site that captures
the favor of this fallen San Francisco icon. http://www.cliffhouseproject.com/index.html
