Amazing! This is an image of Adolph Sutro’s Cliff House, which was located outside San Francisco. It stood for eleven years, from 1896-1907, before being destroyed by fire. BLDGBLOG writes:
This gallery of images is extraordinary; the house is so badly situated on its site that it appears simply to be hovering over the rocks on an artificial ground plane. It’s like a continental afterthought, the dream of western architecture pushed beyond its ability to retain anchorage. But it’s a cinematic sight, to say the least.
