Brune-Reutlinger House

Brune-Reutlinger House is featured.

By the 1870s, San Francisco was a booming city. Many of the city's elite, like whiskey baron Henry Brune, were in the market for bigger and more prestigious homes.

In 1886 the Brune family built an Italianate Victorian in Alamo Square that not only suited the city’s long and narrow lots but also let Brune flaunt his wealth.

More than a century later, with its exotic Turkish Parlor and all the fine touches of excessive extravagance, the house is still considered a the crown jewel of San Francisco’s Painted Ladies.
