Conor Fennessy’s eclectic taste runs the gamut from museum-quality antique furniture to modern folk art of uncertain provenance—but his cool San Francisco–related items are the most intriguing. A recent visit turned up a marvelous floor lamp that, according to Fennessy and film stills, decorated Lauren Bacall’s Telegraph Hill apartment in the 1947 classic Dark Passage; while a copy of an 1892 social register revealed the names and addresses of post–gold rush bluebloods, including the Flood, Crocker, Huntington, and Hopkins families. 801 Columbus Ave., 415-673-0277, conorfennessy.com
