Cliff House and Sutro Baths postcard views

Sutro Baths: Page One - Page Two - Page Three

View looking south at the 1896 Cliff House (burned in 1907). I believe this postcard image is based on a photograph by Raper James Waters.

Same view with 1909 Cliff House. Did they just superimpose it? You decide.
