Throughout my research so far, visiting the Sutro Baths has been the most interesting. I have seen the ruins before, but had no idea that it used to be a popular bathing house in the early 1900s. The seven pools used to hold up to 10,000 swimmers at one time, and 1.7 million gallons of water. Now what is left after a destructive fire in 1966 are remnants of the structure and algae-infested pools. There are signs everywhere warning visitors of past drownings in the area, and to not climb upon the ledges of the foundation, but of course people do not take heed to this advice.
