Bourn Mansion is a historic home built in 1896, and located at 2550 Webster Street in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, California.
Bourn commissioned architect Willis Polk to design the house. Polk later designed many of Bourn's buildings, including his Filoli country estate in Woodside, California; which was light and informal in design.
The Bourn Mansion exterior looks like an English townhouse with red and dramatic chimneys; and the interior was designed with a traditional formalist style, very heavy and dark. The building has 28 rooms and 14 fireplaces.
In the 1970s, the Bourn Mansion was purchased by socialite Arden Dee Van Upp (née Rich) and her partner, they were known for their lavish rock and roll themed parties in the house. In 1975, Arden's teenaged daughter Tammy Ann was nationally famous for her belly dance routines with her large Pythonidae snake named Gideon, which often seen at the Bourn Mansion parties.
After a sale of the property in 2010, the Bourn Mansion was underwent seismic retrofit in 2011, and was renovated in 2012. At the time of sale the asking price was US$2.9 million, with 14-bedrooms, and 4.5-bathrooms.
