Sutro Baths, Public bath in San Francisco
The Sutro Baths were a large, privately owned public saltwater swimming pool complex in the Lands End area of the Outer Richmond District in western San Francisco, California.
Built in 1896 by wealthy entrepreneur and former mayor of San Francisco Adolph Sutro, the baths struggled for years due to high maintenance costs before they were eventually closed and burned down in 1966.
The Sutro Baths were a popular social gathering place and are considered an important part of San Francisco's cultural history.
Today, the site of the Sutro Baths is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and is maintained by the National Park Service.
Despite their destruction, the ruins of the Sutro Baths continue to be a popular tourist attraction.
