10/20/2007:  John Hall and I visited the San Francisco Public Library to review the Sutro Baths blueprint collection.  While far from ideal, we did take digital photos of a few sheets that were deemed useful in understanding the original pre-ice rink construction.  We only looked at three of five rolls.  Those images are posted below...
