San Francisco businessman I.W. Hellman purchased property at Sugar Pine Point in 1897, and completed a summer home on the
site in 1903. His daughter, Florence Hellman Ehrman, inherited the estate. She and her husband Sidney Myer Ehrman hired Walter
Danforth Bliss to design a new house, known as the Hellman-Ehrman Mansion (which is now part of the California State Park
System), where they spent many summers entertaining family and friends.
