Alamo Square Park is one of the best-known parks in San Francisco, with views of the city skyline, the Painted Ladies of Postcard Row, the University of San Francisco, and more.
This walking tour brings together the historic with the modern in one of the most recognizable places in the world.
You’ll learn about the role Alamo Hill played during the 1906 fires, its status as a watering hole before that, and the implications of the Van Ness Ordinance.
As we walk around the park, you’ll hear about what makes City Hall so special and get a sense of the different housing styles in this neighborhood that boasts the second-highest concentration of 10,000-square-foot homes in SF.
We’ll also explore the William Westerfeld House and the Archbishop’s Mansion.
We’ll even get the opportunity to step inside the Historic Chateau Tivoli, one of the grand Victorian homes in Alamo Square. We ended up in the Fillmore District, after visiting Third Baptist Church, the first Black church in the city.
