Le Petit Trianon, San Francisco: 3800 Washington St The 1902 landmark building, which was constructed as a replica of Marie Antionette’s hangout in Versailles, listed back in November for $19.989 million. That price dropped by about 10%, or a cool $2 million, and is now listed at $17.995 million. That’s even more of a steal when you consider that the mansion first returned to the market at $25 million in 2012. It’s being sold by CNET founder Halsey Minor (you may recall he’s had a little financial trouble of late), who bought it back in 2007 for $18 million. The 9-bedroom, 8-bath, 18,000-square-foot Presidio Heights manse was commissioned by wool magnate Marcus Koshland and his wife Cora after returning from a particularly memorable visit to France. According to The Victorian Alliance of San Francisco, it took two years to build and the Koshlands celebrated its completion with (what else?) a Marie Antoinette-themed costume ball, complete with hand-delivered invitations printed in Paris. The home stayed in the family until 1953, when it sold for $100,000 to the vice president of the American Distillery Company. (We can only imagine the kinds of parties he threw.) The home sits on two-thirds of an acre and also has a 2,600-square-foot guest house. Many period details in both homes remain intact, including intricate wood floors, stained glass windows and filigreed ceilings. The main home has an elevator, a grand ballroom, 9 fireplaces and 4 kitchens. You know, the basics. It’s unclear what state the house is in, though, since it has been cited twice for abandonment and dead ivy is clearly evident in pictures of the facade. blog.sfgate.com/ontheblock/2014/04/10/2-million-price-cut-for-s-f-s-version-of-versailles/

William de Leftwich Dodge’s original oil painting "Atlantic and Pacific" from the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. This is the first time the mural has been on public view in 100 years. More amazing pieces will be on view this October when we open "Jewel City: Art from San Francisco’s Panama-Pacific International Exposition." at the de Young Museum 

Two “triptychs” painted by William de Leftwich Dodge were mounted on the walls of the archway beneath the Tower of Jewels. Each triptych measured 92 feet in length and was 12 feet high. Because they were to be hung nearly 40 feet off the ground the proportion of the figures were elongated as a means of compensating for the foreshortening which occurs when viewed from below. The central panel on the west wall was entitled, Atlantic and Pacific, flanked by Discovery and The Purchase. Opposite, on the east wall, were Gateway of All Nations with Achievement and Labor Crowned on either side. Taken together, these murals were an allegorical evocation of the history, labor, and achievement of the Panama Canal.
