Constructed in the late 19th century, these homes exemplify the city’s colorful transition from Gold Rush boomtown to a bastion of architectural innovation. The term "Painted Ladies" doesn't just refer to these specific houses, but to any Victorian or Edwardian houses painted in three or more colors that enhance their architectural details, though the Alamo Square examples remain the most photographed and famous. Their juxtaposition against the modern skyline often symbolizes the blend of old and new that characterizes much of San Francisco.
