Sutro Baths

history

On March 14, 1896, the Sutro Baths were opened to the public as the world’s largest indoor swimming pool establishment.
Sutro Baths History (nps.gov) Adolph Sutro, the self-made millionaire who designed Sutro Heights and later the second Cliff House, developed the amazing Sutro Baths in 1894. With his special interest in natural history and marine studies, he constructed an ocean pool aquarium among the rocks north of the Cliff House. Sutro then expanded his ocean front complex by constructing a massive public bathhouse that covered three acres and boasted impressive engineering and artistic details.
