“A taste of Paris at the crest of Nob Hill.” The Chambord, a Beaux-Arts style apartment building, was designed in 1921 by self-taught architect James Francis Dunn who died before its completion. The elegantly appointed apartments include oval dining rooms and hidden storage. A basement kitchen once provided meals for tenants. The Chambord was used as a location for the classic 1950 film-noir, D.O.A. By Director Rudolph Maté. By 1960 the Chambord had lost all of its exterior detailing in a modernization attempt. In the 1970s the Chambord was slated to be demolished but a huge public effort saved the building by registering it as a San Francisco Historical Landmark as well as listing it in the National Register of Historic Places. In the early '80s the Chambord was restored. San Francisco Architect Cathy Simon used Dunn's original scheme, and emulated detailing from other Dunn buildings, to produce a Chambord that was as spectacular as the original. The apartments are small but exquisite with oval living rooms, balconies, and fine woodwork. The building has 11 apartments. The Chambord Penthouse is owned and was remodelled by Interior designer Candace Barnes of Candace Barnes Design. Chambord Apartments, 1298 Sacramento Street, Nob Hill, San Francisco, California.
