Transformed into a weekend home, the space became known as the China Cabin. And, in 1978, it was designated as a national maritime treasure and restored to its former splendor as a Victorian drawing room. The Cabin consists of a large room and two small staterooms. Its plain exterior belies the ornate and regal appointments inside. This place is impressive. The walls and arched ceiling are panels of elaborately decorated wood that have been painted a crisp white and highlighted with gold leaf. Along the sides of the Cabin are a series of small, delicately etched glass windows; handsome crystal chandeliers hang at each end of the room. The Cabin also has decks on three sides that have wonderful views of the San Francisco skyline and of the colorful boats berthed at the nearby yacht harbor. The China Cabin offers a glimpse of old-world elegance and attention to detail; the result is a rich, sophisticated appearance that makes this a unique setting for a special wedding, rehearsal dinner, meeting and private or corporate party.
