Birthdate differs from Find-A-Grave. Lincher 04:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Spreckels' Death Date is 1908, yet this if found in the article: "In 1913, Spreckels built a huge white sugar cube of a Mansion for Alma deBrettville Spreckels, bride of his son Adolph, in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco on Washington at Octavia."
So which Spreckel's built this "sugar cube" mansion?

A tiny advertisement placed in the first issue of The Independent newspaper (Honolulu) in 1895 reads ' Claus Spreckels & Co., Bankers '.... here, (bottom right on page). Subsequent larger adverts were placed in the paper throughout the publication's short life. There's no reference in the article to Claus entering the banking business. Can anyone shed any light on this? MZionC ( talk) 18:35, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
