Farm House

I concluded that this property was historic as a rare example of the Bay Area’s agricultural past. The house was owned by the Delucchi family, an early Redwood City family that operated a grocery on Main Street and raised crops on the family farm. There was a windmill and water tank at the rear. Many Italian immigrants raised vegetables on small plots of land during late 19th and early 20th century for sale to local markets.
