Built in 1924 at 164 South B Street, the National Bank of San Mateo is a Beaux-Arts structure designed by pioneering California architect William H. Weeks and constructed by Samuel A. Wisnom. Though a somewhat restrained and late example of the Beaux-Arts idiom compared to Weeks's other works, it remains San Mateo's only building in that style and was recognized as architecturally significant. Originally a local bank, the institution was acquired by Crocker-Anglo Bank in 1955, then closed in the 1980s following Wells Fargo's absorption of its parent company. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
