Description

Local artifacts trace the broader San Mateo Coastside story, touching on railroads and the area's diverse cultures. The building carries its own salvaged past, constructed with reused beams, structural wood, and siding from a circa-1926 sheriff's garage and the Johnston livery stable. Outside, an on-site native plant garden helps restore local habitat balance.
