Built in the 1880s in the Pacific Heights neighborhood, this beautifully preserved home offers a unique glimpse into the city's 19th-century history.\nWhile many historic house museums are dedicated to diplomats or the incredibly wealthy, original inhabitants William and Bertha Haas were upper-middle-class merchants moving up in the world. As San Francisco Heritage CEO Woody LaBounty explains, their home's location was chosen carefully to be near the true locus of power just one block over on Van Ness Avenue, which was then a showplace boulevard of massive, elaborate estates.\nToday on Call ‘Em Like Museum, Woody talks about why the Haas-Lilienthal House is now the headquarters of SF Heritage and how the organization uses it to tell the city’s story. We also discuss what makes this house museum different from so many others, why it’s so important to preserve historic architecture, and why his favorite room in the house is the bathroom.\nVisit the Haas-Lilienthal House: https://www.haas-lilienthalhouse.org/\nThe Halloween Experience, House of Weird: https://www.haas-lilienthalhouse.org/halloween\n\nFull transcript of this episode\nSubscribe to the newsletter\nThis episode was hosted, produced, and edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod\nChapters\nMusic: www.purple-planet.com\n\nImages:\nHouse exterior\nThe Ashe-Hobart Residence\nResidence of Mr. Charles Holbrook\nClaus Spreckel's residence (which also survived the fire!)\n1906 firefighters\nThe burning of the Mission District\nThe dining room chandelier\nThe house in 1975\nThe dining room\nGolden Gate Park, c. 1925\nDe Young Museum, 1921\nSan Francisco burning\nThe Haas-Lilienthal House entrance\nThe bathroom\n100 McAllister Street in the 1930s\nCastro Camera\nQueer Arts Featured\nSalvador Dalí Museum\nSalvador Dalí, 1939","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/R3vVVmzGNQz0jMgSg7uznIO-cko06gdiz9lG9pi3elA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85MTA0/ZmM2NTdlOTJjZGZk/NDA0MGI2M2IxNmU1/NWE0MC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
