This A&E program takes viewers to visit some of the breathtaking mansions built in the Bay Area surrounding San Francisco, CA, including the striking Dunsmuir House in the East Bay part of town and the Haas-Lilienthal House. The latter is a Queen Anne-style Victorian home that was built during the latter part of the 19th century. Viewers can see how ornate the Dunsmuir mansion is with its inlaid parquet floors and handsomely wood-paneled rooms. Ralston Hall, located in Belmont, CA, is also visited. American political leaders and a number of foreign ambassadors have been entertained there. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi
