Spreckels Mansion · Pacific Heights · San Francisco, CA 94109
The Spreckels Mansion fills a 45,006-square-foot Pacific Heights block — the largest lot and the largest building documented on this site. Recorded in the SF Planning survey as the Spreckels Residence, it is the only individually landmarked building among these pages.
Historic status
The article that prompted this page states San Francisco Landmark No. 197, designated 9 June 1990. The city's per-parcel historic dataset confirms the building's Article 10 individual-landmark status and its Category A / A* rating, but does not carry the landmark number or the designation date — so those two figures are the article's, not the city's, and are noted here as unverified against the landmark ordinance itself.
Permit history
Eight permits, 1990–2004, one a sidewalk filing. The record clusters in 1990–91: a $600,000 kitchen-and-two-bath remodel, the re-hanging of the iron driveway gate, and — after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake — a proposal to brace the parapet with steel angles, which expired.

Not yet documented: the architect and builder; confirmation of the landmark number and designation date against the city's landmark ordinance; and the discrepancy between the assessor's 1911 build year and the article's 1912. Know any of it? Tell us — just describe it in plain words.
