    Hello George. It's Bob Dunn. I'm glad you are doing so well. Thanks again for allowing me to use your home as the setting for one of my short stories. I live in Sacramento now. In this video I learned about your family for the first time. For those who might read my comment, George and I went to the same high school, and I swam with his older brother.

    I am so glad Georges mother bought this house when she did. I was a Realtor in SF in the 1990’s and represented its former owner, whom his mother purchased from, when they moved back east. This house had been loved and cared for by its former stewards since the 1980’s, when it was already one hundred years old. And like George said, this house had not been altered or tampered with like some of its neighbors. There are some redwood floor beams that are of one long continuous board, running from the front to back of the house. Due to the BayAreas climate and Redwood, there was never any termite damage or rot like most wood houses deal with. I’m so glad this house is in such good and loving hands. Bravo George and thank you World Of Nuance for sharing this with us.

      @denniss5505 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

      @ if I remember right, my client purchased this house in 92 for $749K which, adjusted for inflation, is $1,667,403.19 in 2024 dollars. It sold in 98 for $920K, then again in 2001 to the current owner for $1.25M which, adjusted for inflation, is $2,205,734.46. in 2024 dollars. So in those 32 yrs, its real appreciated value has been $539K in todays dollars

    I ran into this video by accident, and was delighted to see that the focus was on the house I used to clean in the late ‘70s! So, no, I didn’t wonder what the inside was like-I knew it intimately. It was owned at that time by three young tech guys, and furnished with various bits and pieces. One guy had the stuff that was replaced when his office remodeled, one had his mom’s antiques, and one had bricks and boards. There was a separate apartment on the top floor that they rented to a young lady who I never met, and as she did not pay in for cleaning, I never saw it. There was a tiny wee bit of psychedelic paint in the basement, but generally the place was well-preserved, and had very good vibes. Thank you for the chance to see it as it is now-it’s beautiful!

    As an immigrant tech professional who has lived across from the Painted Ladies in Alamo Square for over a decade, I’m captivated by these elegant homes. Once, I saw them as mere relics of a bygone era, silently witnessing the city’s transformation. But learning that families have lived and thrived here for nearly 200 years is enchanting. These homes have endured the Gold Rush, the Great Earthquake, and countless lifetimes-each wall holding whispers of history and hope. A beautiful testament to the resilience and spirit of this city. Incredible video!

    I visited the house at 720 Steiner Street back in the late 1970s. My step grandfather knew the homeowner and he gave us a tour of his house.
    What struck me as a 10-year-old kid from suburban San Jose was how narrow the house was and that the hallway was on the side of the house and not down the middle of the house.
    The video says that they were run down in the 1970s/1980s, but I can tell you that they were in good shape in the 1970s and were famous (locally) before the book was published.
    What changed that area from a multi racial multiethnic neighborhood wasn't Redlining but the influx of high paid tech workers in the 1990s/2000s, resident tourist as I call them.

      I agree. We were raised in SF and the description of the neighborhood by George and the narrator is not at all what I remember. Alamo Square and these houses were lovely, there wasn’t “redlining” in the City, Blacks , Whites, Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Italians all lived in neighborhoods next to each other. More division started after the late 70s and 80s with the movement of Blacks to Oakland and Berkeley during the height of the Black Panthers, the SLA settled in SF and Sacramento, and the Mexican Farm Worker’s Union were in the Central Valley. That was a complicated time in SF history but the houses were taken care of.

Imagine the afternoon when he took me to Alamo without mentioning the Painted Ladies.

    Lived near there when I was in my twenties, thought "meh." Looking at it now at 59, I think "wow!"

    This is such an awesome video. I just happened upon it as a recommended and I love it George you and that house are made for one another. I was there not long ago, even though I’m a Santa Rosa native it was my first time seeing the painted ladies. I parked across the street and sat in the park for about an hour just soaking it all in. I wish you many years of health and happiness and good times in your house. Blessings abound. 🌺 thank you for your mini generosities and sharing.

    Great video! I sometimes feel being curious about these houses in Alamo neighborhood, and here we go, the video. I feel lucky being stumbled on it and able to know the owner and a bit history of the house. Great job! Thanks much.

    I grew up in the bay-area mostly South San Francisco. I've passed these houses a few times and seen them all the time on TV. I never thought I'd see the inside. Thanks for the video!

    720 Steiner is the house where the movie 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' was used during 1978. It's one of my favorite sci-fi thrillers movies. The house that actress Brooke Adams's character resided in.

    My daughter lived on Steiner for a while. The owner, an elderly lady, lived upstairs. The place looked great from the outside but it was quite run down. The old woman died and the relatives, who my daughter had never seen before, swarmed in and renovated it.

    I am actually totally interested in this tour. because the outside you can be in the 90s and take an iconic picture and from the inside there is a really interesting historical tour with antiques etc. if I go to the SF area this will be top on my list

    I like this guy. He knows hìs family history. He has civic pride. I come from the St Louis area. When I was a kid there was these historic old buildings that they couldn't tear down fast enough
    This guy is great. We need more people like him
