Amazingly, many of these splendid estates are still single-family homes!About Your Tour Guide:I have been living in San Francisco since the 70s, bought and restored my first Victorian home in the 80s, and have been studying and teaching San Francisco architecture since the 90s. After restoring a total of 3 Victorians to their former glory I can say that Victorians are true masterpieces of residential architecture. I have a great passion for our citys trademark architecture, Victorians, and am an active member of the The Victorian Alliance and The San Francisco Architectural Heritage.Activity Summary:Well meet on Union Square and take public transit to one of my favorite neighborhoods to see the best Victorian homes in the city. I restored a lovely Victorian in the 80s and will open my doors to give you access to the interior of a true Queen Anne Victorian. Well take a leisurely walk through the neighborhood while I share the history of these intricate homes that have become famous TV and movie locations over the years. We will end in Cow Hollow on Union Street which has a distinct history of its own built on the bed of old wooden ships. Its now lined with some of the best boutiques and restaurants in the city. Depending on your interests, I will recommend the best local gems to enjoy a leisurely brunch or drinks.Tags Keywords:Walking Tours – History Tours – City Tours – Guided Tours – San Francisco – Pacific Heights – Victorians – Painted Ladies – Architecture – Residences – Historic Locations – Historic Landmarks – Historic Architecture – Architecture Tour – Row Houses – Mansions – Queen Anne – Jay Gifford – San Francisco Architecture Tour – Pacific Heights Architecture Tour – Residential Architecture Tour – Historic Architecture
