Why San Francisco’s "Palace of the People" burned to the ground

Uncovering the forgotten history of the Sutro Baths: How a Gilded Age engineering marvel became San Francisco's most haunting ruins. 🌊🏛️ Perched on the rugged cliffs of Land's End, the concrete skeletons of the Sutro Baths stand as a mysterious monument to a lost dream. But before they were ruins, they were a "Glass Cathedral"—a massive, 3-acre indoor swimming complex that defied the power of the Pacific Ocean. In this documentary, we travel back to 1896 to meet Adolf Sutro, the visionary engineer who believed luxury belonged to everyone. Discover how he carved tunnels through solid rock to harness the tides, filled massive pools with 2 million gallons of ocean water, and built a palace of glass and iron that stunned the world. We explore: 🔹 The incredible engineering behind the world's largest indoor swimming establishment. 🔹 The Victorian "Cabinet of Curiosities" museum that lined the promenades. 🔹 The slow decline, the conversion into an ice rink, and the mysterious fire of 1966. 🔹 The haunting beauty of the ruins that remain today. This is not just a story about a building; it’s a story about ambition, the impermanence of human achievement, and the relentless power of nature.
