Fodor's Review:
Two Italianate Victorians (1818 and 1834 California St.) stand out on the 1800 block of California. A block farther is the Victorian-era Atherton House (1990 California St.), whose mildly daffy design incorporates Queen Anne, Stick-Eastlake, and other architectural elements. Many claim the house -- now apartments -- is haunted by the ghosts of its 19th-century residents, who regularly whisper, glow, and generally cause a mild fuss. The oft-photographed Laguna Street Victorians, on the west side of the 1800 block of Laguna Street, cost between $2,000 and $2,600 when they were built in the 1870s. No bright colors here though -- most of the paint jobs are in soft beiges or pastels.
