Brick stairs lead to the primary entrance. Right of the entrance is a canted bay window containing paired multi-lite wood frame casement windows on each face. Fenestrations right of the bay window includes two fxed vinyl windows, two double-hung wood windows, an aluminum screen door leading to a single wood panel side door, and three fixed wood-frame windows. The side door is accessed by a small elevated wood deck with wood stairs. There is one wood frame fixed window located at grade. The east portion of the fa�ade projects slightly from the main wall plane, but the basewall is recessed at grade. This fa�ade terminates in the overhanging eave with a molded metal gutter. The rear (east) fa�ade contains a variety of fenestration types. Within the basewall at grade is a wood frame window with metal mesh screen and a trapezoidal wood lattice vent. Fenestrations include (from south to north) three fixed wood frame windows, two small fixed wood frame windows, and two double-hung wood frame windows flanking a wide fixed wood window. A wood lattice vent is located below the gable peak. The north fa�ade faces a narrow side yard. The east portion contains three double-hung wood frame windows. At center is a canted bay window with wood frame multi-lite windows at each face. The bay window is capped with a short gable roof. The west portion of the fa�ade features a brick chimney. Fixed stained glass windows with a tulip pattern are located on either side of the ch im ney. The front yard contains a small lawn, several small tress, and sculpted boxwood hedges. A long driveway leads from Costa Ric� Avenue to a metal gate and a one-story detached garage. The west fa�ade is clad in stucco with an angled wall extension, matching that of the front fa�ade, and features a wood panel overhead door. The remaining facades are clad in dropped wood siding. The north fa�ade contains a single wood panel door and a three-lite fixed wood frame window. The landscaped rear yard contains various small fruit trees, roses, and other bushes. Overall, the building appears to be in good condition. �� .. �:.. Projecting volume at primary fa�ade, featuring the multi-lite windows, decorative geometric surround, and angular wall extensions.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Burlinqame Park Period of Significance N/A Property Type Residential Applicable Criteria N/A (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) Historic Context: City of Burlinqame The lands that would become the City of Burlingame were initially paR of Rancho San Mateo, a Mexican-era land grant given by Governor Pio Pico to Cayetano Arena in 1845. 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 Ministerto 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 farm operations. In 1893, William Sharon's trustee, Francis G. Newlands, proposed the development of the Burlingame Country Club as an exclusive semi-rustic destination for wealthy San Franciscans. A railroad depot was constructed in 1894, concurrent with small- scale subdivisions in the vicinity of Burlingame Avenue. 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. (See Continuation Sheet) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) "B12.

Significance (conYd): Primary # HRI # Trinomial esource Name or # 136 Costa Rica Avenue 'Date November 13, 2015 � Continuation ❑ Update 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 after the disaster with 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 noRh 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. Burlinqame Park Neiqhborhood The house at 136 Costa Rica 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.z 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 ffty 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 in the neighborhood were constructed in the 1920s and 1930s, including the house at 136 Costa Rica Avenue. By 1949, nearly all of the approximately 250 lots in Burlingame Park were developed. 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. The house at 136 Costa Rica Avenue is an example of the residential building typology commonly constructed in Burlingame Park during the 1920s. 136 Costa Rica Avenue Construction of 136 Costa Rica Avenue was completed in August 1921.3 No original building permit was available for 136 Costa Rica Avenue. The original architect or contractor are unknown. 136 Costa Rica Avenue does not appear on the 1921 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map for Burlingame, which was published in March, several months prior to the subject b�ilding's construction. The building does appear on the next available Sanborn Map, published in 1949, with the same footprint and location as today. A historic photograph of 136 Costa Rica Avenue from 1955 shows that a wood trellis extended from the building's entryway over the driveway; it is unknown if the trellis was an original feature. Landscaping of the front yard has changed over the years, as well as the painting scheme of the exterior walls and trim. As discussed in the above construction chronology, a bank of windows at the primary fa�ade and two fxed windows at the south fa�ade appear to be replacements within original openings. Otherwise, the building has undergone very few alterations. Owner and Occupant History Burlingame city directories list Herbert E. and Freda C. Williamson as the first occupants and owners of 136 Costa Rica Avenue. Herbert Williamson operated H.E. Williamson & Co., a washing machine manufacturer in San Francisco.4 Freda Williamson, listed as the sole owner by transaction records held at the Burlingame Historical Society, sold the property in May 1928 to Amelia K. White.s Amelia White (also known as Millie) and her husband Henry 0. White lived at 136 Costa Rica Avenue with her parents John W. and Emma Willis. 6 John Willis worked as a bookkeeper at Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), where Henry White also worked as a salesman. John Willis died in 1943 and Emma Willis remained at 136 Costa Rica Avenue until her own death in November ' Gray Brechin, lmpenal San Francisco (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1999), 94. z Diane Condon-Wirgler, "Burlingame Park, Burlingame Heights, Glenwood Park."

Henry and Millie White continued to live at 136 Costa Rica Avenue through 1956. During that time, Henry was promoted to a rate analyst at PG&E and later a department supervisor. In January 1956, the property was purchased by William and Eula Marie DeBusk, proprietors of "Glen Andrews The Barber" barber shop in downtown Burlingame. In 1961, the DeBusks sold the property to Mrs. Gloria K. Eberle, who lived at the subject property until the present. No additional information has been uncovered about Gloria Eberle. At the time this report was written, 136 Costa Rica Avenue was for sale. Evaluation (Siqnificance): The house at 136 Costa Rica 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. 136 Costa Rica Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion A/1 (Events) for 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 in 1921, the building does convey conte�ual significance as a single-family residence associated with the development of Burlingame Park, but it is not among the earliest homes in the neighborhood, nor does it appear especially influential in the area's development of the neighborhood. It is one of many residence of similar size and style constructed during the 1920s-1930s building boom in this area and is not individually significant within this historic context. Therefore, the property does not appear to be individually eligible for listing under Criterion A/1. 136 Costa Rica 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 signifcant in local, state or national history. The building's original owners, Herbert and Freda Williamson, operated a San Francisco-based business, but do not appear to be particularly influential in the development of that related industry or any other related context. The White and Willis families were long-time owners and occupants of the property, but research has not revealed them to be part of a larger historic context. The DeBusks were local business owners and lived at the property for a short time, yielding no significance. Little information has been uncovered regarding Gloria Eberle, another long-time owner and occupant. Research does not indicate that these former owners and occupants rose to a level of significance at the local, state, or national level such that the property would be individually eligible for listing under Criterion B/2. 136 Costa Rica Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion C/3 (Architecture) as a building that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The architect and builder are currently unknown, so it cannot be said to be the work of a master at this time. It is an intact example of the Craftsman style residences that were prevalent in Burlingame with its gable roof, exposed rafter tails, and original windows and decorative features. However, it is not a particularly outstanding, or distinctive, example of Craftsman style architecture in the Burlingame Park neighborhood and lacks many of the character-defining features of an exemplary Craftsman style composition. Therefore, the property is not individually signifcant 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 ' San Mateo Times and Daily News Leader, November 18, 1944.

Primary # HRI # Trinomial Resource Name or # 136 Costa Rica Avenue *Date November 13, 2015 O Continuation ❑ Update analysis of the house at 136 Costa Rica Avenue for eligibility under California Register Criterion 4(Information Potential) is beyond the scope of this report. Evaluation (Inteqritvl: The house at 136 Costa Rica Avenue has undergone very few known alterations. A wood trellis has been removed from the primary entrance area, and a few windows appear to have been replaced, likely within the original openings. The house was reroofed in 1997. The house still conveys its original design and character as a vernacular interpretation of the Craftsman architectural style. The building retains excellent integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling. The house has not been moved and therefore it also retains integrity of location. It continues to be used as a single-family residence within a universally residential neighborhood. The site's landscaping has changed over the property's history, but the landscaped front and back yards, as well as the detached garage, remain intact overall. Several neighboring houses have been either been altered or replaced with new construction, which is typically two-stories in height. However, the density of the houses and general design characteristics within Burlingame Park remain. Therefore, the building retains integrity of setting and association. For these reasons, the building retains historic integrity. Conclusion The Craftsman-style residence at 136 Costa Rica Avenue was constructed in 1921 during a building boom in the residential subdivision of Burlingame Park. The property appears to have undergone very few alterations. No significant events are associated with the property, nor is it considered to be an outstanding example of Craftsman style architecture found in the area. The White- Willis families and Gloria Eberle were long-time occupants; however, neither they, nor the 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."e This conclusion does not address whether the building would qualify as a contributor to a potential historic district. A cursory inspection of the surrounding area reveals a high concentration of early twentieth-century residences that warrant further study. Additional research and evaluation of Burlingame Park and surroundings neighborhoods as a whole would need to be done to verify the neighborhood's eligibility as a historic district. e California State Office of Historic Preservation Department of Parks and Recreation, Technical Assistance Bulletin #8: User's Guide to the Califomia Historica/ Resource Status Codes & Historica/ Resource /nventory Directory, Sacramento, November 2004.
