The National Bank of San Mateo, at 164 S. B St. in San Mateo, California, is a Beaux Arts-style bank built in 1924. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.It is one of three San Mateo buildings designed by "pioneer California architect" William H. Weeks; and it was built by contractor Samuel A. Wisnom.In 1955 the local bank was absorbed by, and became a branch of, the Crocker-Anglo Bank. In the 1980s, Wells Fargo absorbed Crocker-Anglo, found this branch to be redundant, and closed it.It is the only example of Beaux Arts style in San Mateo, and was deemed to be a significant example of the style, despite the instance being somewhat watered-down and late relative to most other works in the style, including those of Weeks.

Mission Hospice
Mission Hospice

Mission Hospice, also called (Mission Dolores Outpost and Mission San Mateo), is a historical site in San Mateo, California in San Joaquin County on the San Mateo Creek. Mission Dolores Outpost site is a California Historical Landmark No. 393 listed on March 8, 1948. Mission Dolores Outpost was built by Spanish Padres with New Spain in 1786. The outpost was a resting spot on the El Camino Real trail running north to south to the Spanish missions in California. Mission Dolores Outpost was the stop between Mission Santa Clara de Asís and Mission San Francisco de Asís. The Mission Dolores outpost also worked with the local Natives. To feed the mission and natives of Mission Dolores had a farm outpost at an Ohlone Village. The outpost also raised cattle. Food was also taken to Mission San Francisco de Asís. The two main adobe buildings at the site were the large granary building and small chapel. Mission Dolores Outpost was abanded in about 1793 after diseases killed most of the native population. After the Mexican secularization act of 1833 the large granary building was used as an inn on the El Camino road. The mission land became Rancho San Mateo and Rancho de las Pulgas. In 1849 the output buildings also became a stagecoach stop, opened by Nicolas de Peyster. None of the Mission Hospice buildings now exist, the site is the center of city of San Mateo.The Mission Dolores Outpost historical marker is at Southwest corner of Baywood/(Baldwin) and El Camino Real-California State Route 82 in San Mateo, placed there by the, Anson Burlingame Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.
