Alamo Square

The crown jewels of San Francisco's Victorian treasures, this row of houses called "Postcard Row" is one of the most-photographed residential streets in America. Bounded by Webster, Broderick, Oak and GoldenGate streets, Alamo Square Park looks out over the downtown area to the east, framing these turn-of-the-century beauties against a backdrop of modern skyscrapers. A number of them are open to the public either on private-home tours or as B&Bs.
