History and architecture gem - Lovers of history will be entranced. Sincere, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide shares his home and tales. Tiffany heirlooms, fantastic wallpapers (if you know Bradbury, you know), Sound of Music memorabilia, and more. Gorgeous golden retrievers are a bonus.

Unique Experience! - The homeowner guiding the tour is such a sweet and passionate man! He's very attached to his family home and uses the tour money to keep up the original look of the interior. Its such a unique and personal experience!

A WEALTH OF HISTORY & INFORMATION - Extremely informative and in-depth account of the houses that make up the Painted Ladies, the area and its rise, fall and rise again through the decades - and that was just the preamble on the steps of the Blue Painted Lady owned by George Horsfall! Very interesting to see inside the house, particularly as is retains most of its original Victorian features. George does a wonderful job relating the information pertaining to this particular house and his family history. Hopefully he will set up a foundation to ensure that the house, its contents and history are preserved and passed on to future visitors forever.
