[edit] Death Date inconsistent
Spreckel's Death Date is 1908, yet this if found in the article: "In 1913, Spreckels built a huge white sugar cube of a Mansion for Alma deBrettville Spreckels, bride of his son Adolph, in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco on Washington at Octavia."
So which Spreckel's built this "sugar cube" mansion?
- I see it's gone now (rightly): Claus Spreckels died in 1908 before the marriage of his son Adolph to Alma De Brettville. Adolph bought the Jean Boyd residence at the corner of Octavia & Washington street as a Christmas present for his wife in 1910, bought up five adjacent properties, and then had it demolished. Architects Kenneth MacDonald and George Applegarth designed a new mansion for Alma. It was completed in 1913, though it had not yet been furnished in time for a Christmas party held there that year. - Nunh-huh 10:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
