Whittier Mansion, Historic mansion in Pacific Heights, San Francisco, United States.

The Whittier Mansion at 2090 Jackson Street spans four levels with 30 rooms, featuring steel-reinforced brick walls covered in Arizona red sandstone.

William Franklin Whittier commissioned architect Edward Robinson Swain to construct this residence in 1896, investing $152,000 in the building project.

The mansion incorporates Richardsonian Romanesque architecture with Renaissance elements, including carved mahogany panels and German silver hardware throughout the interior.

The second floor contains six bedrooms, three with private marble bathrooms, while each level encompasses approximately 3,500 square feet of living space.

The German Reich operated their San Francisco consulate from this location until 1941, when the United States government seized the property.
