About Painted Ladies

The Painted Ladies are the Victorian houses at 710 to 720 Steiner Street, built between 1892 and 1896 by developer Matthew Kavanaugh and known as Postcard Row. You view them from the hilltop lawns of Alamo Square park across the street, which looks out over downtown San Francisco. The row appears in the opening credits of Full House. These are private homes where people live, so you look from the park and do not go inside.
