Victorian Cottages on Tree-Lined Streets
Gerstle Park, at the southern end of San Rafael, provides a variety of Victorian homes from the late 1800’s and early 20th century. Some of the original homes were built as summer residences for San Francisco families, including two adjoining estates for the Gerstle and Sloss families. Gerstle Park, a center for community activities, was the site of the Gerstle family home.
