Address

On Steiner Street along the east side of Alamo Square Park

Seven Victorian wooden houses from the 1890s stand shoulder to shoulder on Steiner Street. Sit on the grass on the slope of Alamo Square Park opposite and the downtown towers line up right behind their pointed roofs: the shot from the opening of Full House. People live in them, so it's a look-from-the-lawn place, but between the dog walkers and picnickers you tend to stay longer than planned.
