Built in 1886, the Haas-Lilienthal House functions as a house museum, a popular venue for meetings, lectures, social events, as well as the home office of the nonprofit San Francisco Heritage. Members of the Haas-Lilienthal family donated the house to SF Heritage in 1973 with most of its contents and furnishings intact. The house is open for public tours and attracts visitors from around the world. It also serves as a classroom for SF Heritage’s educational programs such as “Heritage Hikes,” an interpretive tour for 3rd graders begun in 1981.
