Adolph Sutro inaugurated electric streetcar operations to the Cliff House in 1896, the same year he opened his grandiose new ‘French chateau’ Cliff House and the expansive Sutro Baths. Built as an alternative to the Ferries & Cliff House steam train that wound its way around Land’s End, the “Sutro Rail Road Company” electric cars offered inexpensive transportation direct to the new Baths. Passengers got off the Sutro streetcars in a covered depot (adjacent to today’s Louis’ Restaurant), where a covered walkway led directly to the Baths’ main entrance. In an era when horse cars and steam-powered locomotives still plied the streets of San Francisco, the Sutro Railroad’s silent, clean electric cars were truly state-of-the-art. As an incentive to riders, Sutro offered transfers ensuring a 5¢ fare from anywhere in the San Francisco. (The rival steam line was operated by the widely-hated Southern Pacific Railroad and didn’t respect transfers, a policy which resulted in a 10¢ fare for their riders.)
