Oscar Wilde House

LGBT themed Co-op

About

The Oscar Wilde House is wickedly inspired, an ideal setting for all individuals seeking to live an exquisite life. Aptly named after the brilliant Irish writer and social critic, persecuted for his queer offenses in the Victorian age, the house is an open theatre for poetry, drama, wit, and aesthetic subversion. As America’s first gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender theme house, the Wilde house offers a haven of tolerance for those who transcend traditional sexual orientation and gender identity. Wilde welcomes and lavishes affection upon all open-minded residents and guests, regardless of sexual orientation.

Our beloved guests often have a hard time resisting Wilde as a second home. Understandably so, as a typical day might include: a communal pancake breakfast prepared in our large and sparkling-clean kitchen, several hours of bare-chested sun worship on the rooftop with a full spectrum of the Bay Area’s delights in view, or relaxation in our vast, rustic living room with a game of billiards, the mood set with music on the piano—one of the best in the BSC. Frequent trips to the dining room for decadent treats and conversation become part of the daily routine. For evening stimulation, one may retreat to the Max Bader Memorial Alumni room, with dual use as the Oasis a collective meditation box, and as the guestroom. Also, the underground offers affordable laundry facilities and a secluded study room, perfect for refining one’s cleanliness and intellect, respectively. Join us at the Wilde House. Our green-trimmed pleasure dome is an experiment in joy and creative living.
