Painted Ladies, Victorian architectural ensemble in Alamo Square, San Francisco, US
Seven Victorian houses stand in a row on Steiner Street, displaying pastel-colored facades with decorative wooden trim and multiple architectural details.
Built between 1892 and 1896, these houses survived the 1906 earthquake that destroyed eighty percent of San Francisco's buildings and caused 3,000 casualties.
The term Painted Ladies first appeared in a 1978 book about San Francisco's Victorian architecture, influencing preservation efforts across numerous American cities.
Located at 710-722 Steiner Street facing Alamo Square Park, these houses currently maintain market values exceeding three million dollars each.
The first house in the row, number 722, differs architecturally from the other six and belonged to Matthew Kavanaugh, who developed the entire property.

San Francisco brings together historical monuments and natural sites that reflect the city's unique history and geography. The Golden Gate Bridge, a 2,737-meter-long suspension bridge completed in 1937, is one of the region's most recognizable structures. Alcatraz Island, a former high-security federal prison operating from 1934 to 1963, is located in the bay and is visited by ferry. The Painted Ladies, seven Victorian houses built between 1892 and 1896, exemplify San Francisco’s characteristic residential architecture with their colorful facades facing Alamo Square Park. The city also includes Fisherman's Wharf, a historic port district developed from late 19th-century Italian fishing piers, and the Fillmore, a performance hall from the 1910s that contributed to the development of the West Coast music scene. Twin Peaks provide viewpoints at 928 feet (283 meters), while Lands End features rocky cliffs and hiking trails at the western tip of the peninsula. The Cable Cars, a mechanical transportation system operating since 1873, run on three lines through San Francisco's sloped streets.
