The Report
This Beaux Arts mansion with an Italian Renaissance design was built in the heart of San Francisco by James Leary Flood for his wife, Maud. He hired renowned architects Bliss & Faville to begin construction of the “house of marble on a hill of granite” after Maud became concerned about living in a city that was devastated by the Great Quake of 1906. After her husband’s death, Maud gave the home to the Religious of the Sacred Heart. It is now part of the Broadway campus of Schools of the Sacred Heart. The total square footage available for rental is 11,000 sq. feet, and includes a “Grand Hall”, a courtyard, as well as several smaller rooms.
Woman Getting Married Says
The venue fee at this incredible mansion is pricey, but if you’re looking for a ceremony/reception in a memorable venue in San Francisco, this could be it. My main gripe with the venue would be the forced end time of 10:00 p.m. (after party, anyone?) as well as complaints of a narrow reception hall and loud acoustics. I hate having to end a wedding early, but if you start at 4 or 5 p.m. it might not be a bad idea. I would opt for a slight smaller guest list at this venue to make up for the potentially cramped reception areas (and to help offset the costs of the venue rental fee).
