Haas-Lilienthal House
2007 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94109, USAHistory The 11,500 square foot Haas-Lilienthal House, designed by architect Peter R. Schmidt for William and Bertha Haas and built in 1886, represents both the ambitious spirit of San Francisco's pioneers and its great Victorian-period architecture. It survived the 1906 earthquake and fire and remained in the Haas-Lilienthal family until 1973, when the House was entrusted to a new architectural preservation organization, The Foundation for San Francisco's Architectural Heritage, by the three adult children of the recently deceased Alice Haas-Lilienthal (now SF Heritage). The H-L Home subsequently became their new headquarters after some planning, and it was rapidly turned into offices, a house museum with docent-led public tours, and a sophisticated location for special functions. In addition, SF Heritage created an extremely effective teaching program for third graders to learn more about architecture, preservation, and nineteenth-century living. Today, this exuberant Queen Anne style home survives as a site of national cultural and architectural significance. In addition to being on the National Register of Historic Places and San Francisco Landmark #69, the House was designated a National Treasure in 2012 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
