1427 Chapin. Is that a Historical Building? A member of the Farrell family, who built 1427 Chapin, Burlingame, is flying in from Englan, this Friday, and wants to walk through the original front door.

Yes, it is, but it has been extensively remodeled a number of years ago, as will be obvious to the family member. I think the front door is similar to the original, but not the original. I’d suggest to the family member to enter on the Coldwell Banker side, and ask the nice receptionist to walk through the older section, which can be accessed through the new. Have fun!
