Postcard Row House Facade?Model
The houses?along?Steiner Street, or ‘Postcard Row’,?have become iconic of San Francisco’s residential architecture. ?When built in the 1890s, these Victorian style houses were of a single color and rather drab. Since then, residents?have?decorated the?facades?in a variety of ways, lending each house its own unique color scheme and personality, and earning them the moniker?’The Painted Ladies of San Francisco’.?The name ‘Postcard Row’ is a reference to how often these buildings adorn tourist postcards! This architectural sculpture of a typical ‘Postcard Row’ facade was handcrafted by the duo Chisel & Mouse in their studio in Sussex, England.?It is?made of strong plaster that has a reassuring weight and smooth, cool feel. The window frames and door are made of etched brass.?See more work from Chisel & Mouse here.
