Bliss and Walter Paville (Saint Francis Hotel, James Flood Mansion, Geary Theater) for Walter Bliss's parents Elizabeth and Duane "D.L."

Located at the famed Baker Street stairs, 2898 Broadway has been hailed as a beautifully proportioned and exquisitely detailed essay of Dutch Colonial Revival architecture. The façade is perfectly symmetrical, and while it appears as a two-story house with an attic structure on its Broadway side, the house marches down a steep slope with additional floors visible along the Baker Street steps. The house was used as a location for four major Hollywood motion pictures: Portrait in Black (1960), Jagged Edge (1985), Sweet November (2001), and Blue Jasmine (2013). It is currently on the market, represented by Max Armour and Karen Mendelsohn Gould from Compass and offered for sale for $32M.
Since its inception, the Decorator Showcase has raised over $18 million for the San Francisco University High School Financial Aid Program. This event allows hundreds of deserving Bay Area students access to a world-class college preparatory education.
Sponsors: Da Vinci Marble, Monogram/GE, PACE/Premium Bath and Kitchen, Hakwood, Perez Construction, Abbey Carpet of San Francisco/Floortex Design, Integrated Resources Group (IRG), Waterworks, Sherwin-Williams; and Media Sponsors: Marin Magazine/SPACES (Diamond level), California Home & Design, San Francisco magazine, Nob Hill Gazette, 7x7, California Homes, Henry, Luxe Interiors + Design, Marin Living, and ABC7.
