Blue Painted Lady House Tour - Interior Guided Tour by Owner
Overview
The Painted Ladies are known worldwide from photos, guidebooks, film and TV shows such as "Full House". For locals, they are a cherished symbol of our city and our history. These are all private homes and are rarely open for viewing. The blue painted lady is one of the most original and preserved of the seven homes in this row. The interior reflects almost 174 years of this family's history in the city. It is not a recreation of an 1890s home, nor is it the tour meant as an inspiration for home décor or design. We hope guests find the period furnishings and paintings harmonious and the stories engaging.
What's Included
- Most of the top 3 floors of the blue painted lady are shown.
- There is a small part of the home that is private to the family only.
