The row of Queen Anne Victorians at 710–720 Steiner Street, built 1892–1896 by developer Matthew Kavanaugh and repainted in their signature palette from the 1960s color movement, faces Alamo Square’s east lawn in the classic postcard of gables and bay windows against the downtown skyline.

Frame the Painted Ladies from the east lawn.
Use the Alamo Square east lawn and the Steiner sidewalk from public positions; the residences’ porches and interiors are private homes and stay separate from your visit.
The park is free and open around the clock, with the postcard light in the late afternoon; the houses themselves are private and only viewed from the park and sidewalk.
Check the Landmark map and confirm your unlock while nearby. The Cathedral Hill and Hayes Valley neighborhoods nearby are separate places and not part of this Landmark.
Three ways to remember Painted Ladies.
Choose a curated Experience after you unlock this Landmark. The previews show creative directions, not customer results. Memories are generated interpretations, not documentary photographs of the scene.

Before you choose.
How do I unlock the Painted Ladies?
Visit the supported arrival area on the Alamo Square lawn or the Steiner sidewalk and choose Unlock. The server checks a current location sample; a confirmed visit earns a permanent badge for free. The houses are private residences.
Does an Experience include admission or a photo session?
No. Venue admission, transport, visitor access and physical photo sessions are separate. An Experience creates an optional private generated Memory after your verified visit.
Do I need the light shown in the preview?
No. These are illustrative generated previews of creative photographic treatments. A location check establishes nearby presence, not the pictured light or visitor conditions.
