San Francisco:The painted Victorian and Edwardian Houses

There are numerous brightly painted Victorian and Edwardian houses throughout America, but it’s the San Francisco houses for which the term ‘Painted Ladies’ was coined. You’ll see the most resplendent examples in Haight-Ashbury at 710–720 Steiner Street. Built in the late 1880s, this group of ‘Painted Ladies’ are a real tourist attraction and have featured in movies, TV shows and ad campaigns.
