  • S2 E2: The Scandalous San Franciscan: Alma Spreckels

    S2 E2: The Scandalous San Franciscan: Alma Spreckels
    Dec 19 2022
    Alma de Brettville Spreckels is considered the great-grandmother of San Francisco. Born to a working-class family of Danish immigrants, Alma used her incredible beauty to claw her way up the social and financial ladder. The result would be a scandalous career of nude modeling and a breach of promise suit where she sued her intended fiance for $50,000 when he refused to marry her. Despite the scandalous newspaper reports of the trial, Alma was still able to bag the wealthy son of a sugar magnate and live happily ever after. In Alma's case, "Happily Ever After" involved spending lavish sums on a new mansion and eventually an art museum that operates to this day.

There are plenty more shenanigans including political brawls, inappropriate marriages, and even...gasp...a possibly love child. Along the way, Clay rebuilds the family manse, transforming it into something a little hard to explain. ===============================================================
