Pacific-Union Club

The Pacific-Union Club is a private social club, located at 1000 California Street in San Francisco, California, at the top of Nob Hill. It was founded in 1889 as a merger of two earlier clubs: the Pacific Club (founded 1852) and the Union Club (founded 1854).

The clubhouse was built as the home for the silver magnate James Flood and is often referred to as the Flood Mansion. It is considered the first brownstone constructed west of the Mississippi River and believed to be the only structure in the area to survive the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906.

This club figured promenantly in the history of the west coast of the USA. Many prominent citizens have been active amongst it membership. To this day it remans an exclusive men-only club.
