Mellow Yellow Monday - San Francisco Victorian - December 20, 2010
I came across this beautiful Victorian when driving near Dolores Park in San Francisco.
I just love the color schemes and gingerbread that graces these "painted ladies."

Luna Miranda - I imagine it must be pretty expensive to heat these Victorians.
rainfield61 - It isn't hard to find these since they are all over San Francisco. I love driving around, you turn down a street you haven't been on before and discover all sorts of new houses you haven't seen.
Angie - The amazing variety of paint colors is something to see on these Victorians!
Lesley - You're right...the neighbors can't compare to this cute Victorian!
Gattina - I would need an elevator to live in some of these houses that are three stories and on the steepest of hills!
Thom - SF definitely has its charm and a European feel to it...but Hawaii is equally beautiful - glad we're neighbors!!
ruma - I think it's time you came back to San Francisco for a visit!
shopannies - I know there are hundreds of Victorians that I haven't even discovered yet.
Sharkbytes (TM) - The first year I lived here, I bought a watercolor of a little yellow Victorian. My dream always was to buy one....but it only remained a dream.
Snowbrush - There is a multimillion dollar business in painting these Victorians. This yellow one is quite sedate, actually.
magiceye - Are there Victorians in Mumbai? Since the English were in India for a long time, it wouldn't surprise me.
wow, this Victorian is so beautiful! must be expensive to live here.:p
ReplyDeleteOh, you find beauties all over the places.
ReplyDeleteI agree, love the painted lady, good pic.
ReplyDeleteThe house next door looks so bland in comparison!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I appreciated in San Francisco, these old Victorian houses !
ReplyDeleteOne of the best parts of San Francisco is the architecture. Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThe Victoria-like houses.
ReplyDeleteI watched them from the lawn Park.
A wonderful memory...
The view was peaceful.
The form is a symbol of paradise San Francisco.
ruma

ReplyDeleteLove Yellow. Love Victorians, what more is there to say.
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty, but what a chore to paint it!
ReplyDeletedignified look!
ReplyDeleteI actually lived in a place like this once, but it didn't look nearly so nice.
