The Cliff House has had many forms throughout the ages. Over a century ago, the first Cliff house was built of timber. In 1896, Sutro splurged on an extravagant French Chateau style Cliff House which cost him a whopping $50,000. After this magnificent site was destroyed by fire, his daughter tried to rebuild it.
