Murder or Suicide?

We'd read it, wouldn't you? Fortunately Zahau's family has requested a second autopsy, hopefully done in some other county!

Though just sold to a group of investors that intends to renovate and restore the mansion to its original splendor, the actual price paid for the historic Spreckles Mansion has not been disclosed. The listing priced it at $14.5m.

Of historical significance, the home was built by John D. Spreckels who was known as Mr. San Diego. He owned the Hotel del Coronado, the water company, the trolley system and the San Diego Union and San Diego Tribune newspapers. He lived in San Francisco until the 1906 earthquake, at which time he moved to Coronado Island in San Diego Bay. He built two homes on the island, his bay-side house which is now the Glorietta Bay Inn, and the other was his beach-house at 1043 Ocean Boulevard, site of the mystery death. The estate, at an estimated 19,251sf,

totals 27 rooms including a northeast wing with two apartments and a six-car garage. Currently there are 12 bedrooms and 11 baths. The architectural style is a mix of Italian Renaissance and Beaux-Arts and is full of special details like a finished exercise room and ballet studio in the attic and a basement with two wine cellars, many of which may change during renovation.

The house may now be gone, but we suspect the investigations will out-live the proposed renovations! Historic Spreckles Mansion -Sold!
