The Amelia Vollers House was built on one of many lots in the Western Addition of San Mateo, formerly part of the Howard Estate. The land was purchased at auction in 1889 by Amelia Vollers, a German American, and the house, a Queen Anne Victorian, was built by James Tannahill in 1891, before San Mateo was incorporated as a city. This presentation will feature photos of the house, its distinctive architecture, and some of the work done to repair and restore it. It will also include a discussion of how the history of the house was uncovered by the former owners, and how they attempted to preserve that history. Presented by Patricia McDaniel, a former owner of the Vollers House, and a retired sociologist. This event will be in the Oak Room at the San Mateo Main Library.
