Painted Ladies (Postcard Row)

The row of Victorian 'Painted Ladies' facing Alamo Square at 710 Steiner St was built in the 1890s in the Queen Anne style and became widely known as 'Postcard Row.' These wood-frame houses were repainted and restored in the mid-20th century as part of local preservation efforts. The term 'Painted Ladies' refers to Victorian houses finished in three or more colors to enhance architectural details.
