Sutro Baths
Since 1896
The Sutro Baths was a large, privately owned public saltwater swimming pool complex in the Lands End area of the Outer Richmond District on the West Side of San Francisco, California.
Built in 1894, the Sutro Baths was located north of Ocean Beach, the Cliff House, Seal Rocks, and west of Sutro Heights Park. The structure burned down to its concrete foundation in June 1966; its ruins are located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Sutro Historic District.
Why it's on the map
On March 14, 1896, the Sutro Baths were opened to the public as the world's largest indoor swimming pool establishment.
All that remains of the site are concrete walls, blocked-off stairs and passageways, and a tunnel with a deep crevice in the middle.
The structure burned down to its concrete foundation in June 1966; its ruins are located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Sutro Historic District.
A fire in 1966 destroyed the building while it was in the process of being demolished.
Built in 1894, the Sutro Baths was located north of Ocean Beach, the Cliff House, Seal Rocks, and west of Sutro Heights Park.
