The only Nob Hill mansion to survive the earthquake and fire of 1906, saved just barely by its Connecticut brownstone walls. It was the residence of James Clair Flood (1825-1889) one of the bonanza kings of the Nevada Comstock Lode. The Pacific Union Club purchased the shell, and William Bourn, who was on the building committee, secured the reconstruction commission for architect Willis Polk.
