The Victorian Alliance of San Francisco

1894 Queen Anne

The Victorian Alliance is a non-profit organization committed to the preservation and restoration of Victorian and other historic structures, particularly within the city of San Francisco. It was founded in 1972 by a group of private citizens who were alarmed over the mounting demolition of entire neighborhoods of San Francisco's Victorian heritage. Also of concern was the popular trend to strip Victorian homes of their adornment and character, leaving remuddled structures in their place.

The Victorian Alliance actively supports the preservation efforts of our elected and appointed representatives, and of other residents, endeavoring to offer historical information and education whenever possible.

The Victorian Alliance sponsors an annual house tour in October, featuring exceptional homes in a different San Francisco neighborhood each year.

Monthly meetings provide an opportunity to visit homes and other historic structures, enjoy programs about timely relevant issues, share information about restoration techniques and experiences, and meet others with similar interests. The membership background ranges from seasoned Victorian homeowners to new arrivals to the area... sharing an appreciation of historic houses and architectural preservation. An all-volunteer organization, Victorian Alliance relies entirely upon the active participation of its members, according to their abilities, interests and available time.
