Stately Victorians crown hills blessed with glorious views in San Francisco's most prestigious neighborhood. Consulates, finishing schools and condominiums share this tree-lined perch with The City's wealthiest families. Jackson Street near the northwest corner of Alta Plaza Park is a good place to begin a tour of the neighborhood's mighty mansions. The house tour reaches its apex along the Broadway bluff between Webster and Lyon Streets. Of historical and architectural interest are the Spreckels Mansion, 2080 Washington Street; the Whittier Mansion, 2090 Jackson Street and the Bourn Mansion at 2550 Webster Street. The area also boasts magnificent views of San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.
