In-Depth Information
The pastel Painted Ladies of famed Postcard Row on Alamo Square's east side pale in
comparison to colorful characters along the park's north side. Here you'll spot Barbary
Coast baroque, with facades bedecked with fish-scale shingles and gingerbread trim drip-
ping from peaked roofs. On the northwest corner, the 1889 Westerfield mansion miracu-
lously survived tenancies by czarist Russian bootleggers, Fillmore jazz musicians, and hip-
pie communes - plus watchtower rituals by Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey.
