*** About The Painted Ladies:

*** The Painted Ladies of San Francisco, also known as Postcard Row, are a row of colorful Victorian houses located at Steiner and Hayes Streets, bordering Alamo Square. This architectural ensemble consists of several houses built between 1892 and 1896 by developer Matthew Kavanaugh, who lived next door to the houses he built. They are famous for their Edwardian and Victorian architecture and are often featured in media and popular culture as a symbol of San Francisco. Despite the 1906 earthquake, these structures have been preserved and restored over the years, contributing to the city's historical significance and tourism appeal. The term "Painted Ladies" does not refer solely to these houses but to all similar houses in San Francisco and other American cities.
