A Tourist's Guide to the Full House House

Recently, I went to San Francisco for work.  I had been there back last September.  And I missed the opportunity to do something very important - to see the Full House house.

Ok, for those, like me, who are Full House aficionados, if you will.... Here's a quick guide to 'the Full House house' for those who might be visiting San Francisco.

Generally speaking - there are three options:

1)  1882 Girard Street - this is, allegedy, the address the Tanner's said they lived at.  Source unknown.  However, to my knowledge, there isn't much there.

2)  1709 Broderick Street - this the well-known white house with the red door, seen below.  To my knowledge, from some brief online searches - this is a private residence.  Someone bought it; someone attempts to live there in peace (with occasional full house enthusiasts coming by knocking).  If you look on Google maps - this address is noted as 'the full house house'.



3)  The Painted Ladies in Alamo Square - this is, IMO, what you really want to see.  Aside from being famous historical architecture (or something like that), and, generally pretty - these babies are from the opening scenes where the Tanners have a picnic and play kickball.  They are also accompanied by a nice little park across the street from them (Alamo Square) where you can sit, chat, and enjoy the day.


So in short, for Full House enthusiasts, those are your three choices (that I know of), along with my recommendation.  Anyone else know of anywhere else Full House significant out in San Francisco?  You got it, dude!
