I came across this well known area awhile ago and thought I would share it with you...yes, you:):) Thanks for your comments:) "In American architecture, painted ladies are Victorian and Edwardian houses and buildings repainted, starting in the 1960s, in three or more colors that embellish or enhance their architectural details. The term was first used for San Francisco Victorian houses by writers Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsen in their 1978 book Painted Ladies: San Francisco's Resplendent Victorians.[1] Although polychrome decoration was common in the Victorian era, the colors used on these houses are not based on historical precedent."

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Postcard perfect render of an already famous and iconic view! Faved

Whenever I see this group I am taken with the terrific architecture, the coloring, and study each one to see their differences as well as similarities. I think one would have to actually walk the sidewalk in front of these homes to get the true "feel" for the scene and the architecture, without being lucky enough to live in one of them. In 2020, one of San Francisco's iconic Painted Ladies homes--that was considered a "fixer-upper"--sold for $3.55 million, well over its asking price of $2.75 million. A home in my moderate-sized North Dakota city, that looks almost exactly like these homes, has a sale value of around $300G. Location, location.

New to me however is that some Victorian houses in San Francisco are female too, 😁 .
By checking-out your link I've learned that these houses are called 'painted ladies' and that this name was given in other American cities to colorfully repainted Victorian houses as well. One is never too old to learn
Thanks for both the lesson and the wonderful picture of the SF painted ladies, Buddy!
