Haas-Lilienthal House - What To Know BEFORE You Go

Haas-Lilienthal House

In a city known for its Victorian architecture, the Haas-Lilienthal House is one of San Francisco’s crown jewels.

It is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The basics

Located in the Pacific Heights neighborhood, the Haas-Lilienthal House is not usually part of city sightseeing tours, so you’ll most likely make a special trip to visit. The 3-story house is characterized by its circular tower and wooden gables, with an interior of 11,500 square feet. Docents lead one-hour tours through the parlor, ballroom, dining room, and more, telling visitors about the history of the building and the family who once inhabited it.

How to get there

The Hass-Lilienthal House can be found on Franklin Street between Jackson and Washington streets, one block west of Van Ness Avenue, one of San Francisco’s main thoroughfares. Get there on MUNI bus lines 1 or 10, or take the California Street cable car line to its end at Van Ness Avenue and walk four blocks to the house.
