Gardner Sanitarium.

Hide Profile

Structure built in the 1870s by San Francisco banker William Chapman Ralston as a country residence. After Ralston's death, the estate passed to his former partner William Sharon, a U.S. Senator from Nevada. After Sharon's death, the mansion became Radcliffe Hall, a girls' finishing school. From 1900 to 1921 it was the Gardner Sanitarium. Since 1922, the building, now known as Ralston Hall Mansion, has been the home of Notre Dame de Namur University (cf. Ralston Hall Mansion web site http://www.ralstonhall.com/).
