A little correction for you.
The SF mansion of James C. Flood was not located on Clay St. It was built in 1886 at 1000 California St. The earthquake fire gutted the building but left the brownstone walls standing. The Pacific Union Club purchased the structure and renovated it into their club bldg which still stands today at 1000 California, the center piece for the job nobs' Nob Hill.

Should say "center piece for the nobs of Nob Hill."

I am wondering why he and his new wife, his wife's sister, dropped his daughter off like a bag of trash and then denied her the legacy that was rightfully hers. He was disowned by his family and chased her all the way to Europe to marry her, then discarded her child. It seems so cruel. Why did he adopt her if he didn't want her? His second wife was just as bad. This was her sister's only child. Why be so cruel to her? Just goes to show you, the old saying is true. All the money in the world can't buy you one once of class. Or decency, I suppose.
