San Mateo County Gazette
Redwood City, San Mateo County, California
Saturday Morning, April 6, 1861, Vol. 3 No. 1



TOWN CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS. - Redwood City, and the county of San Mateo,
generally, is steadily improving and increasing in population. Since our
last notice of this town, various improvements of town property, and
evidences of progress otherwise, are visible, the whole going to form a more
imposing appearance, and exhibiting a growth of which our citizens may well
be proud. Several excellent buildings, for residences and business purposes
are in progress on construction and in contemplation. J.V. Diller, Esq. is
putting up a substantial frame building, 25 x 40 feet, a short distance
north of his fine brick store, intended to be let for business purposes.
C.N. Fox, Esq., the District Attorney, is erecting on his new property, on A
street, a fine frame residence. Mr. C. Ayres has lately improved and
beautified his establishment on Main street, which is now known as the
Tremont House. Mr. Chas. Prior has also built a frame edifice on his
premises, fronting on A street, for a saloon or store, we believe. Other
improvements in buildings, etc., of minor note, are being made, all tending
to enlarge and ornament the town. A very pleasing feature, both as an
ornament and as a substantial benefits, the planting of fruit trees in house
yards, which is now becoming universal. These trees and the beautiful
flower-gardens about every residence, are rendering the town a real beauty
spot.
