San Francisco’s Cliff House is one of the city’s most iconic destinations, but its famous restaurant closed in 2020. Until a new restaurant opens, a history group is bringing life back to the building.
The darkened, empty kitchens now display historic projections by artist Ben Wood, who has been projecting period photos and videos from Cliff House history out of the gift shop windows for months. The rooms are awash with a sound installation by Andrew Roth.
When the Cliff House restaurant permanently closed under the weight of the pandemic, Western Neighborhoods Project rallied to save its collection of historic memorabilia from the auction block. The group raised $180,000 in an effort to prevent the collection from getting spread to the wind. Among the objects it saved were a pair of porcelain"muses" figures that had lived in the old Cliff House for ages.
Aside from the artifacts, the exhibit is a rare opportunity for the public to visit one of San Francisco's iconic destinations and view it outside its normal state as a bustling restaurant.
