"Painted ladies In American architecture, painted ladies are Victorian and Edwardian houses and buildings repainted, starting in the 1960s, in three or more colors that embellish or enhance their architectural details. The term was first used for San Francisco Victorian houses by writers Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsen in their 1978 book ""Painted Ladies: San Francisco's Resplendent Victorians"".

The vivid contrasts of darkness and light enhance the almost unnatural beauty and Gothic elegance of the model.
