This house, one of the favourite destinations of San Franciscans out for a walk, was first an inn, before it became a rather pretentious manor house, which was destroyed by fire in 1907. The current edifice, restored in 2003-04 is of little interest other than for its grandiose location and the bay view from Point Pedro in the south to Point Reyes in the north, including the Farallon Isles, some 50km off the coast.
