Our Lady of the Wayside Church
Our Lady of the Wayside Church, Spanish Colonial Revival church in Portola Valley, California.
The church exhibits steel-reinforced concrete construction with stucco finish, round-arched windows, buttressed walls, and a tiled gable roof with exposed rafter ends.
Timothy L. Pflueger designed this church at age 19 in 1912, marking his first architectural commission while working as a draftsman at Miller's firm.
The church emerged from collaboration between Jewish, Protestant, and Catholic members of The Family, a San Francisco men's club with a nearby retreat.
Located at 930 Portola Road, the church holds Mass services on Saturdays at 4:30 PM and Sundays at 9:30 AM for the local congregation.
After the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake caused extensive damage, the congregation raised 600,000 dollars to save the building from recommended demolition.
