Our Lady of the Wayside

Built in 1912, this country church was the first executed design of noted architect, Timothy L. Pflueger, who had just begun work for James Miller.
An awareness of the Spanish California Missions inspired the style, which contrasts with the large commercial buildings and Art Deco theaters for which Pflueger later became notable. Construction of this Catholic church was initiated by a non-denominational club, The Family.

California Historical Landmark No. 909 (see others on this page)

Plaque placed by the State Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with the town of Portola Valley, September 4, 1977.

Town of Searsville

Here stood the lumbermen’s village of Searsville whose first settler, John Sears, came in 1854. Across the road westerly from this monument stood a hotel. The school, store, blacksmith shop, and dwellings were to the southeast, some on the site of the present lake and others overlooking it. Buildings were removed in 1891, as water rose behind the new dam.
