LOCAL RESEARCH / Atherton
Building history
Known as Fair Oaks in 1866, Atherton served farmers, ranchers and large-estate owners before incorporating independently in 1923.
Source ↗Housing context
The town's origin around large estates and a decision to remain strictly residential make detached estate-style properties a historically grounded service context.
Source ↗Planning your work
In San Mateo County's incorporated cities the building department for the city that covers the address is the permitting authority, not the county. The Contractors State License Board's consumer page on building permits states the California Building Standards Code position that work may not be erected, altered, repaired or demolished without a permit first obtained from the building official, notes that code requirements vary between cities and counties, and asks readers to check with their local building department. Confirm the scope with that department before work is arranged.

Before the visit
If the door is crooked, off track or has a broken spring, keep clear and stop operating it.
