Cliff House, San Francisco

Old photo of the Cliff House, San Fancisco, CA.

Originally built in 1863, the Cliff House was purchased by Adolf Sutro in 1883. He refurbished the structure and leased it out. A chimney fire destroyed the Cliff House in 1894. It was later rebuilt.

It was then, and is today, a popular eating establishment set on the rocks overlooking San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

Date & Place: January 1900 at The Cliff House in San Francisco, California USA

My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships. The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.
