Description: (Describe resource and its major elemeMs. InGude design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) 133 Crescent Avenue is a one-story residence located on the west side of Crescent Avenue between Howard and Newlands avenues in the Burlingame Park neighborhood. The roughly rectangular lot measures 68 feet along the primary Crescent Avenue frontage, 149 feet at the southeast boundary, 68 feet at the southwest boundary, and 142 feet at the northwest boundary. The building's orientation is offset from the cardinal directions. Constructed ca.1916, the residence is rectangular in plan with wood- frame construction, and is clad in asbestos panels. All windows are set within wood surrounds; most are single-hung wood-sash. The main plane of each fa�ade slightly projects beyond the building's base, which is clad in horizontal wood siding. The visible foundation is concrete. The building features overhanging eaves with wood-paneled soffits; the eaves at the primary facade have been extended beyond their original length and left exposed. The building is capped with a hipped roof clad in composite shingles. Overall, the building appears to be in fair condition with some areas of disrepair. A detached garage and studio are located at the far west corner of the property, at the terminus of the driveway. *P3b.

Construction History: (Construction date, alterations, and date of alterations) Though no original building permit is on file, the Assessor dates the building ca.1916. The property is known to have been connected to the municipal water system on September 8, 1913, but it appears the building was not completed until ca.1916 (Figure 25). The building is similar in design to pattern-book cottages published in 1916 (Figure 26). The lot was expanded to include 8' of the neighboring property at 137 Crescent Avenue (block 7, lot 5) at an unknown date (confirmed prior to 1924, likely prior to 1921) (Figure 27). The lot also appears to have lost square footage at the rear boundary at an unknown date (confirmed prior to 1921). Sanborn Fire Insurance maps from 1921 and 1949 depict the rear lot line adjustment (Figure 28 - Figure 30). They also depict a detached garage at the rear of the property. The location of the existing garage and studio building does not align with what is depicted in the Sanbom maps; the date of demolition of the original garage is unknown. Based on permit records, the existing garage was constructed in 1929 (resulting in a discrepancy between the permit record and the Sanborn maps). Four building permits were located at the Burlingame Building Department. In 1929, a permit was issued for a new garage (Permit #1616). In 1971, a new roof was added to the main building (Permit #T348). In 1983, a permit was issued for electric work (Permit #5870), and in 2004, a permit was issued for reroofing and the addition of vents (Permit #2024910). Based on physical observation an available undated historic photograph, the building appears to have undergone several other alterations including: the replacement of wood shingle siding with asbestos panels, the enclosure of the porch at the primary fagade; the replacement of three wood-sash windows with vinyl-sash windows; the extension of the roofline at the primary faqade; and the addition of decorative corbels at the front dormer window and rear soffits (Figure 31 - Figure 32�. *B7.

Over the next four decades, the lands passed through the hands of several prominent San Francisco businessmen, including William Howard (purchased 1848) and William C. Ralston (purchased 1856). In 1866, Ralston sold over 1,000 acres to Anson Burlingame, the US Minister to China. Following Burlingame's death in 1870, the land reverted to Ralston and eventually to Ralston's business partner, William Sharon. Very little formal development occurred during this period, with most of the land used for dairy and stock fa�m ope�atlons. Source: San Mateo County Assessor's Office, 2016.

Significance (conYd): During this time, EI Camino Real acted as a de facto dividing line between large country estates to the west and the small village of Burlingame to the east. The latter developed almost exclusively to serve the needs of the wealthy estate owners. Burlingame began to develop in earnest with the arrival of an electric streetcar line between San Mateo and San Francisco in 1903. However, the 1906 Earthquake had a far more dramatic impact on the area. Hundreds of San Franciscans who had lost their homes began relocating to Burlingame, which flourished afterthe disasterwith the construction of new residences and businesses. Over the next two years, the village's population grew from 200 to 1,000. In 1908, Burlingame incorporated as a city, and in 1910 annexed the north adjacent town of Easton. The following year, the Burlingame Country Club area was also annexed to the City. By 1920, Burlingame's population had increased to 4,107. Burlinaame Park Neiahborhood The house at 133 Crescenf Avenue was constructed in the Burlingame Park neighborhood, one of three subdivisions (including Burlingame Heights and Glenwood Park) created from lands that were formerly part of the San Mateo Rancho. The Rancho was inherited by Joseph Henry Poett, sold to Anson Burlingame in 1866, and sold again to William C. Ralston after Burlingame's death. Ralston began to develop plans for a residential park in this area as early as 1873. Initially, Ralston hired William Hammond Hall to draw up a plan for an exclusive residential development to be called Burlingame Park. Hall's early plan was never realized, but work began on the residential development in the 1890s under Francis Newlands. Newlands commissioned Hall's cousin, Richard Pindell Hammond, Jr., to draw up a new plan for the subdivision. The plan "centered on a communal country club and featured winding tree-lined roads, ample lots, and polo fields for the residents."� The land was subdivided and the streets were laid out in May 1905 by Davenport Bromfield and Antoine Borel. The residential neighborhood is located in close proximity to the Burlingame Country Club and the neighborhood was officially annexed to the City of Burlingame in 1911.2 Burlingame Park, Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood Park were the earliest residential developments in Burlingame and were subsequently followed by Burlingame Terrace, Burlingame Grove, Burlingame Villa Park, and Easton. Burlingame Park is bounded by County Road to the north; Burlingame Park, Crescent, and Barroilhet avenues to the east; Pepper Avenue to the south; and Bellevue Avenue to the west. Sanborn Fire Insurance Company maps indicate that Burlingame Park developed over a period of about fifty years. Modest residences were constructed within the subdivision in the early years. The town of Burlingame experienced a residential building boom in the early 1920s and the majority of the residences were constructed in the 1920s and 1930s. Thus, 133 Crescent Avenue was neither among the first or last properties to be constructed in the neighborhood.3 Today, the neighborhood represents the progressive development of the subdivision from the time it was first laid out in 1905, through the early twentieth century building boom, to the present day. Most of the homes in the neighborhood are some variation of Craftsman or revival styles, or are new construction. 133 Crescent Avenue Construction of 133 Crescent Avenue was completed ca. 1916, based on Assessor records. The building is similar in design to pattern-book cottages that were published in 1916. The original architect and contractor are unknown. The water was connected to the property in 1913, prior to the completion of the building. In 1929, a permit was issued for a new garage. The main building was re-roofed in 1971 and 2004, and electrical work completed in 1983. Based on physical observation and an available historic photograph, the building appears to have undergone several other alterations, which are documented in 66. Construction History. Owner and Occupant History Burlingame city directories list John B. Smith as the first occupant of 133 Crescent Avenue from 1918-1928. Ownership cards from the Burlingame Historical Society appear to track John's residence on the subject block to 1907, stating that John was "living in Burlingame suburb" "between Howard and Newlands:" He may have been living at a temporary residence on the subject site, or on a nearby lot. John Smith was a shipbuilder and carpenter, and married Catherine H. Smith (who was first recorded as a resident of 133 Crescent Avenue in 1920). Catherine was born in Scotland and was of Scottish descent. John and Catherine lived together until 1929, when John died. Catherine remained in the home as the sole owner until 1949, when she moved out of the property. The property was then vacant for one year. In 1950, John H. Hillyard, a vacuum cleaner salesman, bought the property. City directories also record his wife Mary Hillyard as a resident of 133 Crescent Avenue beginning in 1951. John was born in Delaware in approximately 1875 and Mary was born in Italy in approximately 1885. They had a son named John H. Hillyard. Mary was a dressmaker and seamstress at the Mercy Convent School. Mary is listed as the property owner on an electrical permit from 1983, ' Gray Brechin, Imperial San Francisco (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1999), 94. 2 Diane Condon-Wirgler, "Burlingame Park, Burlingame Heights, Glenwood Park," (Burlingame, CA: Burlingame Historical Society, ca. 2004). 3 The first Sanborn Fire Insurance Map that shows the subject property dates to 1921.

The subsequent, present owners are Timothy J. O'Brien and Rosemary O'Brien. Evaluation ISiqnificance): The house at 133 Crescent Avenue is not currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) or the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register). The building does not appear in the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) as of 2012, indicating that no record of previous survey or evaluation is on file with the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). The City of Burlingame does not currently have a register of historic properties, and therefore the property is not listed locally. 133 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion A/1 (Events) fo� its association with any events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. Constructed ca.1916, the building conveys contextual significance as a single-family residence associated with the early development of Burlingame Park, but is not individually associated with any local, state or national trends in development or otherwise. The property, therefore, does not appear to be individually eligible for listing under Criterion A/1. 133 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion B/2 (Persons). Research has not revealed any association with people significant in local, state or national history. Residents and owners were shipbuilders, seamstresses, and salesmen; none appear to be particularly influential in the development of their industry or any other related context. The Smiths and Hillyards were long-time owners and occupants of the property, but research has not revealed them to be influential in the Burlingame community. Thus, the property does not appear to be individually eligible for listing under Criterion B/2. 133 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or Califomia Registers under Criterion C/3 (Architecture) as a building that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. Though the main portion of the building can be dated ca.1916, it has lost integrity due to a number of alterations. The architect and builder are currently unknown, so it cannot be said to be the work of a master at this time. The building was likely constructed based on purchased pattern book plans. Though best described as a hipped-roof cottage, the building is not a particularly strong representation of an architectural style — particularly given its degree of alteration. Therefore, the property is not individually significant for its architectural merit and does not appear eligible for listing under Criterion C/3. This property was not assessed for its potential to yield information important in prehistory or history, per National Register and California Register Criterion D/4 (Information Potential). This Criterion is typically reserved for archeological resources. The analysis of the house at 133 Crescent Avenue for eligibility under Califomia Register Criterion 4(Information Potential) is beyond the scope of this report. Evaluation (Inteqritv): The house at 133 Crescent Avenue has undergone extensive alterations, including: the enclosure of a porch at the primary fagade; the replacement of wood shingle cladding with asbestos panels; the extension of the roofline at the primary facade; the replacement of three wood-sash windows with vinyl-sash windows; and the addition of decorative corbels and soffit vents. Though the house still conveys some of the original design intent, alterations have compromised the original massing and detailing. Overall, the building does not retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling, given the visibility of the porch enclosure and the removal and addition of various materials. Generally, the density of the houses and general design DPR 523L The following table outlines the ownership and occupancy history of 133 Crescent Avenue, compiled from Burlingame city directories, San Mateo County Assessor records, property ownership cards, and other available resources: characteristics within Burlingame Park remain. However, the properties immediately adjacent to 133 Crescent Avenue are two- story homes of modern construction that have replaced previously existing buildings of similar scale to the subject building. Therefore, the building lacks integrity of setting. The building continues to be used as a single-family residence within a universally residential neighborhood, and has not been moved. The site's landscaping has most likely changed over the property's history, but the landscaped front, side and back yards remain intact overall. Thus, the building retains integrity of association and location. Overall, the building does not retain historic integrity. Conclusion The hipped-roof cottage at 133 Crescent Avenue was constructed ca.1916. It underwent several alterations including the enclosure of a porch at the primary fa�ade, the replacement of wood shingle cladding with asbestos panels, the extension of the roofline at the primary facade, the replacement of three wood-sash windows with vinyl-sash windows, and the addition of decorative corbels and so�t vents. A detached garage was constructed in 1929, based on permit records. No significant events are associated with the property. The Smiths and Hillyards were long-time owners; however, neither they, nor any other owners or occupants, appear to be have contributed to history in a significant way. As such, the California Historical Resource Status Code (CHRSC) of "6Z" has been assigned to the property, meaning that it was "found ineligible for the National Register, California Register, or local designation through survey evaluation."4 The conclusion does not address whether the building would qualify as a contributor to a potential historic district. Additional research and evaluation of Burlingame Park as a whole would need to be done to verify the neighborhood's eligibility as a historic district.
