Henry H. Gutterson, Supervising Architect of St. Francis Wood -
The career of San Francisco architect Henry Gutterson spans the first half of the 20th Century. Beginning in 1905, when he graduated from the School of Architecture at the University of California Berkeley to his death in 1954, Gutterson's 50-year career most closely relates to the Beaux-Arts, Bay Area Arts and Crafts, and Academic Eclecticism periods. He attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts but was also influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and he became one of the acknowledged practitioners of the early Bay Area Style. What set Gutterson and other young architects in the Bay Area style apart from others in the U.S. was, "the peculiar way of using historical forms and details, the complexity of forms and spaces, miniaturization, and fully exploiting the site as a major ingredient in creating romantic aura."

Atherton continued its reign during the pandemic last year as the most expensive real estate market in the Bay Area, topping even the sky-high prices of San Francisco’s most exclusive neighborhoods, a new report showed.
The San Mateo County town, which has attracted ultra-wealthy tech executives and sports figures among its home buyers, had a median sales price of $6.35 million last year, according to the report from Compass Real Estate, a residential brokerage firm based in New York.
