REDWOOD CITY HISTORIC RESOURCES INVENTORY <br />Continuation of "Description" and "Significance" Categories <br />In the front elevation, the doorway and left second-story window are much closer to the left edge of the wall than the right <br />first and second-story windows. The box-like rectangular pediment over the left second-story window actually interferes with <br />the fascia beneath the eaves. In spite of the curious spacing of the window, the architecture of the house is successful. The <br />brackets under the eaves, on the porch pilasters, and below the window are quite ornate. The recessed entryway is probably <br />a carry-over from the snowy east. <br />The Eikerenkotter family was closely connected with the political history of San Mateo County. Four of George <br />Eikerenkotter's brothers held office at one time or another: his brother, Edward, was once County Clerk; another brother, <br />Julius, was a member of the Board of Supervisors; Albert, another brother, was manager of the County Poor Farm; and a <br />fourth brother, Charles was Consable of the Third Township. <br />The 1911 Redwood City Directory lists George Eikerenkotter at 300 Stambaugh Street (street addresses have subsequently <br />changed). His occupation was listed as painter. <br />19. SIGNIFICANCE AND EVALUATION: (continued) <br />7. DESCRIPTION: (continued) <br />7.B. - Page 22
