Below: The Cliff House is still shuttered since the COVID-19 pandemic forced its closure. The Lurline Pier is long gone, demolished in 1966. It provided salt water for the Lurline Baths at the corner of Bush and Larkin streets and the Olympic Club, as well as other smaller baths. The Olympic Water Company, founded in 1892, pumped sea water through a pipe almost four miles long down what is now Geary Boulevard. Photo by Michael Durand.
