Nob Hill, Grace Cathedral & the Victorian Architecture of San Francisco

San Francisco's Victorian residential architecture — the 'Painted Ladies' and Queen Anne, Eastlake, Italianate and Stick-style Victorian houses built in enormous numbers between the 1860s and 1906 earthquake (when approximately half the city's building stock was destroyed by the earthquake and subsequent fire) — is the most distinctive and celebrated feature of the city's built environment and the visual element that most immediately distinguishes San Francisco from every other American city.
