Tours of the historic Barron-Latham-Hopkins gatehouse in Menlo Park will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 13, hosted by the Junior League of Palo Alto-Mid Peninsula.
According to the Junior League, the gatehouse, located at 555 Ravenswood Ave., is the oldest existing structure in Menlo Park and the last surviving gatehouse in the state of California.
One of three buildings in Menlo Park to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the gatehouse has been leased by the Junior League to use for its office since the mid-1990s.
The gatehouse, built in 1864 by William Eustace Barron, was once part of a 280-acre estate with a 40-room mansion. The mansion was costly to maintain and the estate buildings were removed by 1942, with the exception of the gatehouse.
Tour tickets are $9 per person.
