Lathrop House, House museum in Redwood City, United States.

The Lathrop House features wooden Gothic elements, including pointed arches, steep gables, and intricate trim details throughout its exterior design.

Built in 1863, the residence belonged to Benjamin G. Lathrop, San Mateo County's first Clerk, Recorder, and Assessor, before changing locations twice.

The structure represents the adaptation of Eastern United States architectural styles to California, combining Gothic Revival with Colonial and Baroque influences.

The San Mateo County History Museum maintains this historical building at 701 Hamilton Street, where visitors can explore during scheduled tour times.

This wooden mansion stands as the primary example of Carpenter Gothic architecture in San Mateo County, with distinctive quatrefoil decorative patterns.
