1. Haas-Lilienthal House Marker
Designed by architect Peter R. Schmidt in 1886 for
German-Jewish wholesale-grocery merchant William Haas
and his family, the Haas-Lilienthal House is the city's only
victorian-era home open to the public. Built in the Queen Anne
style, the house exemplifies turn-of-the-century family life and
features prominent gables, varied styles of shingles and siding,
and a turreted corner tower topped by a "witch's cap” roof.
Constructed of redwood and fir, the house withstood both
the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes with only minor damage. It
has been home to San Francisco Heritage, a citywide
preservation-advocacy organization, since 1973.
Designated Jan. 4, 1975
Erected by Historic Preservation Commission. (Marker Number 69.)
