DESCRIPTION: A 19th-century perspective of the "Cliff House," captured as a wood engraving and handcolored to highlight the details.<br><br> The first Cliff House, built in 1863, was a modest one-story wood-frame structure perched atop a cliff overlooking Seal Rocks, offering stunning views of the Pacific coastline. Initially a fashionable resort for San Francisco's elite, it became an exclusive destination due to its remote location, which was later made more accessible by the construction of Point Lobos Avenue and a horse-drawn stagecoach. The Cliff House attracted prominent guests, including three U.S. presidents and notable San Francisco families like the Hearsts, Stanfords, and Crockers.
