Start at Alamo Square
View the Painted Ladies from Alamo Square rather than their private steps
Move within the park to compare the rooflines with the downtown skyline
The houses remain residences; a photograph from public space is the default visit
Continue to a house museum
Follow the longer street section to Haas–Lilienthal House
Reserve its official tour separately when an interior visit matters
For a short outing, finish in Alamo Square; the museum is a distinct second destination, not the next house in the row
