Whittier Mansion
Historic site · Pacific Heights, California
A house built between 1894 and 1896 for William Franklin Whittier (1832-1917), a paint and white-lead manufacturer. It is San Francisco Landmark No. 75, designated on 8 November 1975, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, reference number 76000524, on 26 April 1976. It is a private residence and no source states opening hours, so none are given here.
History
On 29 April 1941 the mansion's title was transferred to the German Reich, which paid $44,000 in cash for it and used it as its consulate. The California Historical Society occupied the building later. The San Francisco Chronicle reported the transfer in April 1941, and it is also recorded in the Historic American Buildings Survey.
