The Haas-Lilienthal House can be rented for weddings, executive dinners, company offsites, receptions, nonprofit galas and private performances, for up to 100 seated or 150 standing guests, and also for small gatherings of about ten. The house is an 1886 Queen Anne Victorian on Franklin Street at Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, San Francisco, owned by San Francisco Heritage.
Seminars and company events
The house is offered for executive board dinners, tech offsites, corporate receptions and retreats, with optional team-building modules that keep the day free of screens. Private salons and seated dinners suit smaller leadership groups. Rentals, buyouts and walkthroughs are handled exclusively by The Gregangelo Museum, which provides production management, sound engineering, custom architectural lighting and decor, and can add live performance and art curation. Enquiries receive a reply within 24 to 48 hours.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding packages cover the ceremony, cocktail hour and seated dinner. The house accepts classic and traditional weddings as well as micro weddings and themed celebrations, and dressing suites are available for the couple and their party. Couples who want to see the house first can join a public tour or arrange a private walkthrough. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries and nonprofit fundraisers are also hosted.
Rooms and capacities
Events use the formal Victorian parlors on the first floor, the grand staircase, the formal dining room, a ballroom on the lower level and a private courtyard at the rear. Together they take up to 100 guests for a seated dinner or 150 for a standing reception. The house covers 11,500 square feet and is fully ADA accessible.
Catering
Catering and bar setups are planned to protect the original woodwork and furnishings. The Gregangelo Museum works with preferred caterers and boutique bar providers, and outside professional food and beverage vendors may also be brought in to work alongside them.
History and setting
William and Bertha Haas commissioned the house, designed by architect Peter R. Schmidt and completed in 1886. It survived the 1906 earthquake and fire and stayed in the family until 1973, when the children of Alice Haas-Lilienthal entrusted it to the organization now called San Francisco Heritage. The house keeps its original 19th-century woodwork and stained glass. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, is San Francisco Landmark No. 69 and was named a National Treasure in 2012. It also serves as a house museum with docent-led tours.
Getting there
The address is 2007 Franklin Street, at Jackson Street, San Francisco, CA 94109. Street parking in Pacific Heights is very limited and there is no onsite parking, so the house recommends ride share, MUNI public transit or a private valet for larger events. Nearby parking garages are listed on the directions page.
