  Cliff House, San Francisco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Francisco's Cliff House is a popular restaurant to both locals and tourists, perched on the headlands on the cliffs just north of Ocean Beach.
In 1883, after a few years of downturn, the Cliff house was bought by Adolph Sutro who had solved the problems of ventilating and draining the mines of the Comstock Lode and become a multimillionaire.
The Cliff House and Sutro's Baths survived the 1906 earthquake with little damage but burned to the ground on the evening of September 7, 1907.

 [minstrels] House on a Cliff -- Louis MacNeice
In previous Minstrels commentaries Martin and I have talked about the ominous brilliance that runs through MacNeice's output from the 1930s: poems such as "The Sunlight on the Garden" and "Snow" seem to capture perfectly the menace of that 'low dishonest decade'.
MacNeice was not unaware of this regression, and "House on a Cliff" can be read as an expression of his frustration.
Outdoors is the world that the poet wishes he could describe -- "the chill, the void, the siren" -- but something is lost, "the locked heart and the lost key" make "his red blood cool", until all he can do is "talk at cross / Purposes, to himself, in a broken sleep".
