United States in World War I
The second Cliff House burned to the ground in 1907. The third Cliff House was a lower Neoclassical style structure designed by Reid &amp; Reid. It opened in 1909 and prospered until 1918, when the involvement of the United States in World War I required closure of all establishments within a half mile of Fort Miley Military Reservation to the north on Point Lobos (San Francisco). The Cliff House closed once more in 1925, not to reopen again until 1937.
