The Sutro Historic District is a National Park Service historic district in the Lands End area of the Outer Richmond District in western San Francisco, California.[1] It is within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, since being acquired by the National Park Service in 1977.[2]

The historic district includes attractions along Point Lobos Avenue at the coast originally built by Adolph Sutro, a Comstock Lode silver baron, and a major land owner/developer in and mayor of San Francisco.[3][4] The 49-Mile Scenic Drive passes through it.
