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."

    One of the best parts of San Francisco is the architecture. Beautiful :)

  7. The Victoria-like houses.
    I watched them from the lawn Park.
    A wonderful memory...

    The view was peaceful.
    The form is a symbol of paradise San Francisco.

    I imagine it must be pretty expensive to heat these Victorians.

    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.

    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!

    I would need an elevator to live in some of these houses that are three stories and on the steepest of hills!

    SF definitely has its charm and a European feel to it...but Hawaii is equally beautiful - glad we're neighbors!!

    I think it's time you came back to San Francisco for a visit!

    I know there are hundreds of Victorians that I haven't even discovered yet.

    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.

    There is a multimillion dollar business in painting these Victorians. This yellow one is quite sedate, actually.

    Are there Victorians in Mumbai? Since the English were in India for a long time, it wouldn't surprise me.
