We are trying to find the exact address and location of the house
shown in the opening sequence of the sitcom "Full House".  In the show
the address is 1882 Gerard Street, but this is a fictitious address. 
We are visiting S.F. and want to see the "real" house.  Please help.

Dear drt123-ga;

I'm afraid you may be in for a disappointment.

As you said, 1882 Gerard Street is indeed a fictitious address.
According to this post in the forum at TV.com however, the actual
address for the exterior row of homes depicted on ?Full House? is 1892
Steiner, Street in San Francisco.

If you are familiar with San Francisco this is a group of typical San
Franciscan home known to some as ?The Painted Ladies? in an area some
people call ?Postcard Row? (because the homes have graced postcards
for years) and they are frequently seen in television shows and
movies. The house shown in the show ?Party of Five? and house in the
movie ?Mrs. Doubtfire? are also located among them there. The backdrop
in the Full House opening segment is Alamo Square. Steiner Street is
between Grove Street and Hayes Street and runs parallel with Fillmore.

As for the house with the red door that the people in Full House
SUPPOSEDLY lived in (See the official Full House website to se what
I?m talking about) don?t bother looking for it among them. It seems
the red door isn?t there as others, like you, have looked for it
expecting to find it (and did not). Perhaps it was changed over time
to prevent fans and curiosity seekers from knocking on it, who knows?

Here?s something I think you will enjoy. Someone has made it a hobby
to collect all the screen captures from the opening segment of Full
House and then travel around San Francisco and snap recent photographs
of all the same places. Enjoy.
