Description: Photograph shows the third Cliff House built. This Cliff House was a seven story Victorian Chateau, called by some "the Gingerbread Palace."
In 1896, Adolph Sutro built a new Cliff House, a seven story Victorian Chateau, called by some "the Gingerbread Palace", below his estate on the bluffs of Sutro Heights. The Cliff House and Sutro Baths survived the 1906 earthquake with little damage but burned to the ground on the evening of September 7, 1907.
