National Register #66000230
James C. Flood Mansion
1000 California Street At Mason
Nob Hill
Built 1886
The National Register Statement of Significance reads:
This, the only Nob Hill mansion to survive the earthquake and fire of 1906,
was the residence of one of the bonanza kings of the Nevada Comstock Lode. James
Clair Flood (1825-1889) operated a saloon when he came to San Francisco in 1849,
but by shrewd dealing in the stock exchange and the judicious exploration and
development of mines--the Comstock Mine in particular--he amassed a tremendous
fortune.
