About This Item
Houghton Mifflin, 1911. First Edition. Very Good condition. Signed by Gustav Sutro, a descendant of Adolph Sutro, famed 24th Mayor of San Francisco. Gustav Sutro was active in San Francisco as well, i.e, In 1951, battered still further by an even steeper drop in attendance at the Sutro Baths during World War II, Gustav Sutro offered the property for sale. George K. Whitney, owner of the Cliff House and nearby Playland at the Beach at Ocean Beach purchased it. He converted all of the swimming tanks to one large ice skating complex. Robert D. Fraser, a controversial developer, acquired the property in 1964 intending to build an apartment tower. In June 1966 a fire at Sutro Baths burned the once-grand structure to its foundations, and resulting sentiments impeded Fraser's development plan. - Wikipedia.
