Cable Car Museum and Barn

Andrew Hallide invented the cable car in 1873
in order to provide transportation up the steep
hills of San Francisco. This building houses the cars
at night and also serves as a repair shop.
It is open to the public to view the vintage
cable cars and various mechanisms of the cars
are also on display.

Powell Street Cable Car Turntable

The cars on the California street line were built to move in one direction only, unlike the California street cars. This is how the cars are rotated. The Powell line havs the best views of the city, while the California street line is more of a commuter line.

Cliff House

The original Cliff House was built in 1909, and this is the third renovation, which was done in 2004. Adolph Sutro, a flamboyant upper-crust San Francisian, had an estate overlooking the Cliff House, and now it is known as Sutro Heights Park. There are several restaurants and observation decks for viewing.

Sutro Baths

Sutro Baths opened March 14, 1896 with a $1 million pricetag — an extravagant public bathhouse envisioned and developed by the eccentric one-time mayor of San Francisco, Adolph Sutro. Crashing waves, labyrinthine structures, wild lilies, cliff-lodged cypress trees reaching towards the ocean, a thundering cave, and but a single signpost warning you of getting thrown off rocks and dying.

A friendly squirrel who apparently enjoys having his picture taken.
