Travel San Francisco, California - The Victorian Houses of San Francisco
Take a tour of Victorian Houses of San Francisco in San Francisco, United States -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
No where else does the Victorian style dominates the skyline like San Francisco, which hosts the original Painted Ladies.
Vibrant, welcoming colors give these 19th century holdovers a whimsical, yet awe-inspiring look.
From 1850-1900, there were over 48,000 Victorians built in the area to accommodate the growing population
Most San Francisco Victorians were built with redwood, a cheap and abundant local material.
Many of these buildings were lost in San Francisco's great earthquake and fire in 1906.
However, some western neighborhoods were spared the flames, and the architectural tradition lives on.
Visit Alamo Square to see how these classic, colorful buildings give character to the city.

Exploring The Winchester Mystery House!
I am so excited to share this video with you - I got to visit somewhere I’ve been ‘dying’ to go for a very long time!
Come with me and explore the Winchester Mystery House - an eerie, confusing and gorgeous victorian home that has its roots in otherworldly origins!
In 1881, this house in San Jose, California began its life as the Winchester Mansion. Based on advice from spiritualists to ward off angry spirits, Sarah Winchester began constructing a home that is a labyrinth that left the evil spirits spinning and one you will want to explore!
From top to bottom, down hallways, staircases that lead to walls and doors that lead to nowhere, The Winchester Mystery House is a blast to visit. I already cannot wait to go again!
Fun Fact: Imagineers used the mansion as inspiration for the Haunted Mansion in the Disney Theme parks! Intrigued?
Just in time for Halloween, check out this ghostly haunting ground - I know you’re going to want to visit here on your own after seeing this! Let me know what you think in the comments!

Noe Valley Neighborhood Guide
Noe Valley. A classy yet relaxed neighborhood positioned just below the hillsides of Twin Peaks in San Francisco. It features classic style renovated Victorian homes that give the streets the distinct San Francisco look. The hillsides of neighboring Twin Peaks block most fog from entering the valley, making for some of the best weather in the city. Noe Valley features a number of establishments for food, shopping, and leisure, all being easily accessible by the J Line that runs down Church Street day or night. Shuttle buses also run through 24th Street on a daily basis, from some of Silicon Valley's most thriving corporations. On 24th Street, food lovers will find selections of culturally diverse restaurants and various other cafes and bakeries, all within walking distance.
Not into the restaurant scene? Whole Foods Market is just down the street, and Noe Valley hosts a farmers' market on Saturdays, where local fruit and vegetable farmers sell organic products from around the Bay Area. For those interested in a drink, you'll find upscale wine outlets. Otherwise, just follow the neon lights and you'll see how vibrant Noe's bar scene can be. Shopping is also plentiful with a wide variety of self-owned clothing boutiques, bookstores, flower shops, music stores, and even a Petco located at Church and Cesar Chavez.
Other than that, Noe Valley is a great place for the walkers or cyclists. The neighborhood has Douglas Playground, which features tennis courts and playgrounds, and just south of that, a dog park. Whether you're a parent raising your family, a dog lover, or simply seeking relaxation, come to Noe Valley to experience some of the city's best weather, attractive views, varieties of dining and drink, and recreation that makes up the neighborhood.

Haight-Ashbury San Francisco-California History
#DoMoreLife #Travel #California
Haight-Ashbury San Francisco is one of the, historically richest neighborhoods in the Bay area. Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in San Francisco was the birthplace of the 1960's counter cultural movement. The Haight-Ashbury neighborhood tends to draw in an upbeat, diverse crowd, which looks to enjoy the legendary hippie vibes that were profound in this area during the counterculture movement of the 1960's. The neighborhood borders Golden gate Park. In addition to the rich history, there are many, well-preserved Victorian Style homes in this area. The Grateful Dead house is included in these Victorian homes.
This neighborhood is also famous for the 1967 Summer of love. The subculture in the area became so popular that TIME Magazine did a cover story on the hippies in the area! One of my favorite artists, Janis Joplin also lived in the Haight-Ashbury area of San Francisco. This is a place rich in the cultural history of America. Thanks to Richard for giving us this brief history lesson, and beautiful travel vlog.

Tour of a Victorian Town and 330 year old Victorian Home - Medford, MA - Bob Vila eps.2401
Related:
The Victorian House:
This ambitious restoration project involves renovating a Victorian home, as well as a former dairy barn also on the property. In its new configuration, the barn will include two offices and an art studio. After a brief tour of the city, Bob meets with the home's new owner, Rikk Larsen, and contractor Charlie Tomaszewski, to discuss the work ahead.
Part 1: Tour of Medford, MA
Bob introduces the town of Medford, the fourth oldest English settlement in America. The town was settled in 1630, and was built on the lands of two wealthy British families. North of Mystic River stands the house of Peter Tufts, whose house was built in 1680 (and has 18-inch brick walls). In1852, Peter's descendent Charles gave over 100 acres to what is now Tufts University. The town originally prospered as a shipbuilding center. The ships ran trade in sugar, slaves, and rum between Europe, the Caribbean, and the colonies. Thatcher McGoon's shipyard employed 1000 workers, and the lumber for the yard came from all over New England. Other businesses thrived also, such as brick and tile production outfits, and companies that manufactured carpeting, textiles, hats, linseed oil, and machinery for shoe making. Now, Medford is a bedroom community for Boston, and homes with Victorian architecture, put up in the Industrial Revolution, are in high demand. West Medford is where the project house is located, and an old map shows that it was an active dairy, which processed and delivered milk from 1886 to the 1960's. The house is an example of New England architecture from the 1880s. Bob meets homeowner Rick Larsen on the front porch before the two walk around to the garden. Architect Richard Trenmaglio joints to talk about ideas for improvements and additions to the house-- a back deck, for instance, or a conversion of the carriage house into a studio connecting to the main house.
Buyer 360 Preview: 172 Precita, San Francisco - A Stunning Updated Victorian

Listed with our friend Frank Castaldini of Coldwell Banker is 172 Precita. This 4-bed, 2.5-bath, 1-car parking stick victorian with California-style and appropriate yard has a great location but has that sophisticated blend of old and new that is hard to nail right.

Walking Tour of Historical Barbary Coast (San Francisco Highlights)
A great way to explore Chinatown and adjoining North Beach is to follow the Barbary Coast Historical Trail. The Barbary Coast Trail is a walking tour that connects 20 major historic sites and museums that give you a glimpse into the wild and woolly gold boom days of San Francisco. There are 180 bronze medallions embedded into the sidewalks that point you to major POIs along the trail so you can theoretically do your own walking tour…but it’s so much more fun to have a local show you around. And in this case, a 200 year old one! I'm joined on my tour by the incomparable Countess Lola Montez of Landsfeld.
