With breathtaking views, box beamed ceilings and a double-curved grand staircase, the historic mansion at 2020 Jackson Street in the coveted Pacific Heights neighborhood is this year’s
San Francisco Decorator Showcase. The Classic Revival home was designed by Julius Krafft and built in 1902 by Wells Fargo Bank President Isaias Hellman as a wedding gift to his daughter. However, after the 1906 earthquake and fire, the 11,500 square foot home was the temporary headquarters of Wells Fargo.
This year’s Showcase features a roster of both seasoned and emerging designers. Wallpaper, neutral color palettes and extraordinary light fixtures were design trends that kept repeating from room to room. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the beautiful spaces:
{French Art Deco sideboard and aubergine fabric by Classic Cloth covers the City Salon designed by
BAMO}
{Ceiling detail of Timorous Beasties botanical print wallpaper cut-out in the Gentleman’s Study by Geoffrey De Sousa Interior Design}
{Shell & brass chandelier and lilac lucite tables in the Dining Room by

{Abstract art by Paul Burlin featured in the Guest Bedroom designed by

{Hand-crafted bed and chenille wallpaper by Romo in The Tailor Made Suit( e ) by
Brian Dittmar Design}
With over 30 rooms, I couldn’t possibly cover it all in today’s post. I will dive into some of the rooms in more detail over the next coupe weeks – so stay tuned!
If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage you to tour this exquisite home. It will be open to the public from April 28 – May 28 {Tuesday through Sundays}. For more information and to purchase tickets, go
