 Historical Carriage House
This historical Carriage House built in 1879 was the precursor for the modern day garage. Built to house the horse drawn carriages that were the dominant mode of transportation of the era, the Carriage house also served as a domicile for the groundskeeper of the estate. In 1909 the Carriage House served as the primary residence of the Marten Family of Redwood City while the main estate house was being built on the property.
The renown architectural firm Geurse Conceptual Designs, Inc. of Burlingame, CA was hired by Allan and Marge Lee to renovate and restore the structure. The principal focus of the project was to maintain the charm of the period architecture while providing all the modern day conveniences desired by todays descriminating clients. Jesse Geurse, President of Geurse Conceptual Designs, presided over the design personally.
State of the Art Builders, Inc. having collaborated sucessfully in the past with Guerse Conceptual Designs, Inc. was brought in to provide construction insight on methodology and value engineering. Together Geurse Conceptual Designs, Inc. and State of the Art Builders, Inc. represent over fifty years of construction design and fabrication experience. |
