Queen Anne Homes on Tour in San Francisco
October 21, 2012 |
The most impressive cluster of Queen Anne homes in the City* will be showcased in the 40th annual home tour presented by Victorian Alliance of San Francisco on Sunday, October 21st from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.
This picturesque style of the 1890s will be highlighted, with its curves and bays, towers and balconies, and the whimsical ornamentation of Cranston & Keenan and other Victorian builders.
Homes open for this popular self-guided tour have proudly retained or regained their original Victorian elegance, with beautifully detailed interiors and garden embellishments, often adapted to reflect contemporary lifestyles. The featured North of Panhandle neighborhood was developed soon after the creation of nearby Golden Gate Park and its Panhandle Park.
Tour homes lie within a relatively flat and compact area, well served by public transportation, and best enjoyed in comfortable shoes. Discounted advance tickets, available for $30 online before October 15th, will ensure a full afternoon of touring.
For further information, and to order advance tickets, see VictorianAlliance.org.
Proceeds of the tour will benefit preservation and restoration projects of the Victorian Alliance Grant Program.
