Geocache Description:

The Burlingame Train Station


The Burlingame Train Station was the first permanent building of the "Mission-Revival" style, inspired by California's Spanish missions. The train station was built with funds from the Burlingame Country Club. As the major contributor, they were able to hire their own, unique architects, George Howard. and Joachim B. Mathisen.

Mr. George Gates was the station master in 1895. He and his family lived in the south wing of the station. During his stay, the train station also doubled as the Post Office. Mr. Gates left the station in 1906.

By 1903, United Railroads of San Francisco had installed electric streetcars that stopped at the train station. This area was called Burlingame Square. In fact, the words "Burlingame Square" is still embossed in the pavement surrounding the train station.

The Burlingame Woman's Club, organized for "village improvement" in 1907, met inside the train station. The club raised money for a "safety station", built in 1908, for passengers of the electric street cars. It was torn down in 1937 to make way for growing automobile traffic.

On his way to the Burlingame Country Club, President Theodore Roosevelt arrived at the Burlingame station May 12, 1903.

A palm tree was planted in 1897 by Julius Kruttschnitt. This is the same palm tree that stands today!

There is a plaque in front of the station at the posted coords. From that plaque, answer the following questions:
