The term was coined, or at least first used in published literature, by Michael Larsen & Elizabeth Pomada to describe the brightly painted Victorian houses in San Francisco.
The famous “Painted Ladies of San Francisco”, otherwise known as “Postcard Row” or the “Seven Sisters”, are a row of colourful Victorian houses located at 710-720 Steiner Street, across from Alamo Square.
