FIRST PRIORITY SITES
,` A-5 BURLINGAME HIGH SCHOOL - 400 Carolan Avenue. Opened in 1923, this
� school was designed by architect William H. Weeks. He was known
as a no-nonsense architect who also designed many other buildings
in the Bay Area. In the 1930's two murals were painted on the
walls of the central hallway. Artist Fredrick Pawla painted one
mural showing a covered wagon crossing the plains during the
California gold rush and another of a schooner sailing the Pacific
Ocean off the California coast. Another of his murals is in the
Choral Room. The classic front entrance has broad steps flanked
by six two-story Ionic columns.
A-6 1021 BURLINGAME AVENUE AT EAST LANE (Oldsmobile dealership).
This two-story brick building with flagstone floor and beamed
ceiling was designed in a"modified Moorish" style according to
the architect, Ernest L. Norberg. It was built about 1929 as a
Packard motor car showroom and offices, one of the largest of
its kind then. The 1930 city directory shows the first listing
of the address as the location of Suburban Motor Co., Thomas H.
Milam, Manager, Packard Sales and Service. Earle C. Anthony,
Inc., advertised from the location in 1935, "Buy with confidence
from one of the oldest Packard distributors in the U.S." Now,
47 years later, the building is still used as a handsome
automobile showroom. The tall windows have Moorish style
pointed arches.
The designer, Ernest L. Norberg, was Burlingame's most prolific
architect who won many awards and citations for his work over
the 72 years he resided in the city. He achieved the rank of
Lt. Colonel after serving 32 years in the Army Corps of Engineers
and was known locally as "Colonel Norberg". Always concerned
with his community and its improvement, he was a member of the
Park and later Planning Commissions for 22 years. He and his
wife lived for many years in a house of his own design at 407
Occidental Avenue in Burlingame. He was named a"Citizen of the
Year" in 1976 and his long career came to a close when he died
in 1979 at the age of 89.
