Haas-Lilienthal House Museum, Photo found at BAC [A+P]
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has recognized the Haas-Lilienthal House as one of America's National Treasures; a new campaign to save historic places of national significance. Built in 1886, the Queen Anne home "conveys the role of Jewish immigrants in the development of the American West." It is also becoming a role model for urban house museums by developing a sustainable management plan that follows "green" initiatives, including maintenance practices, capital improvements, and seeking out increased relevance to today's visitors. Spearheaded by architect, historian, and planner, Barbara Campagna and the museum's management, SF Heritage, the team will strive for a "net zero" or LEED Gold certification. For California's historic buildings, this can mean the difference between struggling through long-term challenges or a thriving future.
Update: Staff at the National Trust for Historic Preservation had some fun seeking out San Francisco's Hidden Gems, including the Haas-Lilienthal House. Take a look at their adventure through many of San Francisco's unique neighborhoods and places, then consider following it for a different view of the City.
