Overview
James Leary Flood (1857-1926), son of the Comstock Silver King, James Clair Flood (1826-1889), erected this residence in Pacific Heights and gave it to his elder sister, Cora Jane (Jennie) Flood (1862-1929), who resided here until the mid-1920s. As she did with Lindenwood, the family's palatial summer residence built in what was then Menlo Park, CA, Jennie donated this palazzo to the University of California (UC). Not able to maintain the house, the UC sold the property that became, in 1927, the Sara Dix Hamlin School for Girls.
