Whittier Mansion

  • Address: 2090 Jackson St., Pacific Heights, San Francisco, CA | Map It

Fodor's Review:

With a Spanish-tile roof and scrolled bay windows on all four sides, this is one of the most elegant 19th-century houses in the state. An anomaly in a town that lost most of its grand mansions to the 1906 quake, the Whittier Mansion was built so solidly that only a chimney toppled over during the disaster.
