Adolph Sutro wollte San Franciscos Pazifikküste für alle Bewohner der Stadt zugänglich machen. Dazu baute er eine Eisenbahn, ein aufwendiges, mit Glas bedecktes viktorianisches Badehaus, das Cliff House, einen luxuriösen Ess- und Tanzplatz sowie üppige, skulpturbesetzte Gärten. Dieses Buch enthält einige der besten Fotos dieser Kreationen, die aus Archiven der Bay Area stammen, und der Text stellt sie in den Kontext ihrer Zeit.

[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.
