HUNTINGTON MANSION, TO BE USED AS A HOSPITAL

The San Francisco mansion of the late Collis P. Huntington, which la soon to be converted into a charity hospital by gift of Mrs. Huntington, stands on Nob Hill, the aristocratic residence place of the town, in a cluster of houses the owners of which are known to fame as California’s wealthiest men. The Huntington house is a three-story residence, occupying an en-

tire block. It is built of marble, and its simple, stately appearance gives it a charm which attaches to very few of the palaces of California’s millionaires. Its color is pure white and its general architectural plan is modeled after the Pitti Palace in Italy. Its neighbors are the house of the late Charles Crocker, of Mrs. HopklnsSearles, the Flood mansion, and the old home of Governor Stanford.
