If you are looking for a setting for an adventure between the 1890s and 1966 (or perhaps later depending upon the circumstances here is a place for you. The Sutro Baths link provides a quick look but for less then twenty dollars US you can get John A. Martini's book link
This book is all anyone who would want to use this as a setting for game would ever need. It is a lovely and lovingly written book that is well worth having if you have any interest in San Francisco history and architecture, Victorian buildings or amusement complexes

This review is from: Sutro's Glass Palace (Paperback)
Sutro Baths was one of the wonders of the West Coast when it was built. To this day it is one of the largest indoor swimming complexes ever constructed. It has been all but forgotten since it was destroyed by fire in 1966. Now almost fifty years later Hole in the Head Press has published John A. Martini's truly excellent work on the complex. Not only has Martini written a wonderful history of the building and the activities that took place within it, but his text is supported by a large number of period and current pictures. The illustrations by Lawrence Ormsby are simply stunning. Between these three descriptive tool the baths are brought back to life in a way I had always hoped I would be able to get my hands on. Getting all of this for less than the cost of two large pizzas makes it even more appealing. I recommend this book to those interested in San Francisco history, the Victorian in general, and those who have a fascination with swimming and amusement complexes.
This is a simply wonderful volume. It is written with intelligence and passion, well researched and beautifully illustrated with both photos and amazingly detailed 3D graphics. I can't think of a reason NOT to own a copy of this!
keeps a convention promise.
