The DOOLAN-LARSON LOVEHOUSE will be a magnet for local and international 
visitors with a myriad of intimate functions that embrace the
 HISTORY of
the site,            
CULTURE of the community, and 
ENTERTAINMENT of the future.


Set at the epicenter of the 60’s Counter-culture movement at the intersection of HAIGHT AND ASHBURY streets in SAN FRANCISCO, LOVEHOUSE is a vibrant expression of the PEACEFUL AND FREE-SPIRITED mindset of the FLOWER CHILDREN.

 Architecturally, the LOVEHOUSE is activated with Dichroic glass film (a simple, protective, and economical solution) that creates a lens through which light and view are prismatically altered to recreate that mindset for unique past & new experiences that will continue to change and evolve.

                Programming includes:
Intimate Live Music events by 
San Francisco impresario KC Turner,

A permanent home for “The Future of the Past” photography project by
Bill Delzell’s SpeakLocal.org that will eventually feature over 5000 photographs shot between 1966 and 1970 in the Haight and Bay Area by an still to be identified photographer along with rotating exhibits,

Mark Nassar’s immersive play “A Night in the Haight” that incorporates Haight-Ashbury historical figures,


and a storefront home for hyper local, community-rooted Haight Street Voice Radio curated by Linda Kelly.
