Caption: "Sutro Baths Interior," c. 1910. Interior shot of the Sutro Baths, north of the Cliff House. Designed by Adolph Sutro in 1894, the bathhouses at one time covered three oceanfront acres just north of Ocean Beach and the Cliff House. Eventually the Sutro Baths fell into disrepair and what was left of them burned down in 1966. Since 1973, the concrete ruins have been part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Caption: "Flavel Hotel, Columbia River, Or.," c. 1909. Built at the turn of the century, the Flavel Hotel housed passengers waiting to board steamships of the Great Northern Pacific Steamship Company bound for San Francisco and other ports. The Flavel family constructed the hotel as part of an effort to establish the town of Flavel on Tansy Point along the Columbia River. The town failed to attract sufficient residents, however, and was annexed into Warrenton by 1918. By the time this photograph was taken, the hotel appears to have been abandoned.
