Victorian Home Walk

Jay has lived in San Francisco since 1979. He worked for IBM for 15 years, purchased a Victorian in 1988, and lovingly restored it over the years to its original grandeur. 

Jay started the Victorian Home Walk in 1996, after being downsized from IBM, in order to share his enthusiasm and knowledge of Victorian homes.

As a resident of San Francisco, I have a great passion for our city's trademark architecture, Victorians. The streets in our best Victorian neighborhoods are too narrow for tour buses, and as a result most visitors miss these local treasures. I created Victorian Home Walk to give people a chance to appreciate the Victorians the way San Francisco natives do, and to offer the seasoned traveler a tour "off the beaten path.” I am an active member of the San Francisco Travel Bureau, San Francisco Tour Guide Guild, IGLTA, The Victorian Alliance, and San Francisco Architectural Heritage” (Jay).
