he Altenheim was founded by San Francisco's most prominent German American families, the Sutros, Fleischhackers, Rosenbaums and others, as an upscale home for older German speakers to live out their days.

The home resembles a grand Bavarian estate, with columns and porticos, high ceilings and rotundas. At the center is a sweeping, lodge-like dining hall, adorned with original woodwork and hanging lights. The grounds include nearly 3 acres of gardens and views of San Francisco. The building's architecture is mainly Neoclassical, with various of the subsequent additions displaying Craftsman and Moderne-style detailing.
