At the time of the gold rush, a great deal of money poured into the city. Ernest A. Coxhead, a noted English architect, decided to build his family’s country retreat here,in San Mateo. Coxhead used the English rural vernacular, with a double bowed roof and delicate leaded windows, to add charm to his English cottage. The idea of the rustic suburb quickly gained popularity around the Bay Area, influenced by Coxhead and his colleagues, Julia Morgan and Bernard Maybeck. They added new Arts & Crafts techniques and innovations to English country homes. This rustic Tudor Revival home has survived, almost untouched, for over a century. Coxhead House creates its current ambiance by paying tribute to all three architects. The Rooms: Angel Porch with fireplace, angel sculpture, separate entrance, and shared bath...$145.
