The Lathrop House was built in Redwood City, California and is one of the San Francisco Peninsula's oldest mansions. Mary C. Lathrop, wife of Benjamin G. Lathrop, bought the land for the 11 room house in {{date|1858}} and construction was completed in {{date|1863}}.[3] It is currently closed as the city prepares to move it a few blocks to make way for new development. The new location is adjacent to the Redwood City History Museum.

History

Benjamin Gordon Lathrop was the first clerk, recorder, and assessor of San Mateo County, California, as well as one of the original investors in the San Francisco to San Jose railroad. This wealth allowed his wife, Mary C. Lathrop and him, to buy up many parcels of land in Redwood City, one of which they constructed the house upon in 1863.[4] It was originally located where the Fox Theatre is now constructed, 2215 Broadway Street, Redwood City.

The house was constructed in the Gothic Revival style was becoming more popular at the time with tall gables and arches pierced by quatrefoil designs. More specifically it was designed in the Steamboat Gothic style designed to resemble the steamboats of the era.[5]

Lathrop House passed through many owners over the years including Patrick Edward Connor, who had been a Union General, and Sheriff Joel Mansfied, who purchased the house in {{date|1905}} and moved it to its present location.[6]

San Mateo County acquired the house in {{date|1968}} to make it part of a heritage center.[7] The Lathrop House was restored on the exterior through joint efforts of the Redwood City Heritage Association and the county.[6]

The Lathrop House was operated as a museum by the Redwood City Heritage Association and was open to visitors twice monthly to view the interior of the house.[3] In 2017, it was closed in advance of a planned move of the structure to be adjacent to the San Mateo County History Museum.[8]
