Fodor's Review:

A small display of photographs on the bottom floor of this elaborate, gray 1886 Queen Anne house makes clear that despite its lofty stature and striking, round third-story tower, the house was modest compared with some of the giants that fell victim to the 1906 earthquake and fire. The Foundation for San Francisco's Architectural Heritage operates the home, whose carefully kept rooms provide an intriguing glimpse into late-19th-century life through period furniture, authentic details (antique dishes in the kitchen built-in), and photos of the family who occupied the house until 1972. Volunteers conduct one-hour house tours three days a week and informative two-hour walking tours ($8) of the Civic Center, Broadway, and Union Street areas on Saturday afternoons, and of the eastern portion of Pacific Heights on Sunday afternoons (call or check Web site for schedule).

  • Cost: Entry $8
  • Open: 1-hr tour Wed. and Sat. noon-3, Sun. 11-4, 2-hr tour Sun. at 12:30
