Introduction
The Haas-Lilienthal House at 2007 Franklin Street in San Francisco is one of the city's finest preserved Queen Anne Victorian homes, designed by architect Peter R. Schmidt and completed in 1886, now serving as the headquarters and museum of San Francisco Architectural Heritage. This 28-room mansion is renowned for its asymmetrical composition, conical tower, decorative gables, and colorful painted facade, an outstanding representative of San Francisco's Painted Ladies style. Built by Jewish merchant William Haas's family, the house was donated to Architectural Heritage in 1971 and opened to the public. The interior retains original carved wood staircases, stained glass, marble fireplaces, and Victorian furnishings, recreating 19th-century San Francisco high society life. Three floors and eight themed rooms display different Victorian decorative styles, offering precious artifacts for studying San Francisco architectural history and Victorian culture. Wandering through feels like traveling back to the luxurious Gilded Age of 19th-century San Francisco, experiencing urban elegance forged by the Western gold rush.
