The William Bourn 2nd Mansion, San Francisco, 1. #125776010
Description
William Bourn inherited a fourteen in mining, then built up what was to become Pacific Gas and Electric Co., PGE, making him the wealthiest man in San Francisco, one of the wealthiest in the nation. On that basis, this 1896 27 room home was a modest one for him, owning several others. Although still a very beautiful home, it faced major neglect during the 1970`s, to the point this now historic landmark is facing major repair cost exceeding the cost of the home itself.
