Reads: Bank of San Mateo County

2000 Broadway NW Corner of Main St.

Incorporated in 1891, the Bank of San Mateo County was the first commercial bank on the Peninsula. It operated from the Capitol Hotel a few doors up the street. in 1899, noted architect Alfred I. Coffey was hired to design a Renaissance style styone veneer building using cut stone from Utah. It was completed in 1900 and remains today as one of Redwood City's most notable commercial-institutional structures.

For more than 40 years, the law offices of Ross & Ross occupied the second floor. The attorneys' brother, Dr. J. L. Ross, was the first bank president. Dr. Ross had purchased the adjacent lot in 1899 and built a two-story brick building with a cast-iron front.

After the 1906 earthquake, the bank purchased the Ross building, and coffey was hired to design a 55ft, facade that would incorporate both buildings. The renovation was commemorated 1910.
