The Haas-Lilienthal House, located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood, is a captivating example of Queen Anne-style Victorian architecture. Constructed in 1886 for William Haas, a successful merchant, and his family, the house survived the 1906 earthquake and fire, offering a unique window into San Francisco's Gilded Age. Three generations of the Haas-Lilienthal family called this house home until 1972.

Today, visitors can explore the house on guided tours, experiencing the grandeur of Victorian living. The house features elaborate wooden gables, a circular corner tower, and luxuriant ornamentation. The interior boasts a ballroom, dining room, parlor rooms, and a courtyard, providing a glimpse into the family's life and the architectural details of the era. The Haas-Lilienthal House also stands as a testament to the significant role of Jewish immigrants in San Francisco's development.
