"I stopped by a red front door and felt an intense longing to spend the rest of my life there...I wanted the life that this space implied." - Again, Alain DeBotton, The Art of Travel
This kind of visceral connection to architecture is the main reason that I'm in historic preservation. It's also the main reason that only 4 photos from my entire trip have people in them. One day I'm going to get in trouble for taking pictures of other people's homes or get hit by a car while trying to do so, but there are some many wonderful examples of high-style architecture in San Francisco that they deserved their own post, so here you go!

The "Painted Ladies" of Alamo Square Park or "those houses from the beginning of Full House" as they are better known.
City Hall
The Haas-Lilenthal House where San Francisco Architectural Heritage is based.
And a splash of eastern influence in the city center.
