I'm thrilled to be remodeling the catering kitchen and transforming it into a "Modern Pantry" where you can sneak in for a spot of tea and sense of calm. It’s an inspiring
refuge: open and airy, with a British sense of style. A Union Jack painted on the wall gives a hip nod to teatime,
and the simple burlap shade over the window takes a cue from historic shipments
of coffee and tea. The leather
cabinet pulls are a tactile offer to come in, put a kettle on, and take a few
minutes for yourself.
Designed by Julius Krafft, 2020 Jackson was built in
1902 by Wells Fargo Bank President Isaias Hellman as a wedding gift for his
daughter. However, it served
instead as the temporary headquarters of Wells Fargo following the 1906
earthquake and fire. The 11,500
square foot Classical Revival home has four distinct levels with San Francisco
Bay views from the formal dining room, large terrace and upper floors. The striking interior features of the
mansion include sumptuous warm mahogany wood paneling, herringbone wood floors,
box beamed ceilings and a double-curved grand staircase to the upper floors.
