Our Lady of the Wayside Church
Our Lady of the Wayside Church is a modest church built in 1912 for the then-growing Catholic parish of Portola Valley by a combined effort of Jewish, Protestant and Catholic members of The Family, a San Francisco men's club that owns a nearby rural retreat.
The building itself was constructed of steel-reinforced concrete with stucco finish in the Mission Revival style, with the added Georgian element of the main doorway with its scrolled pediment. Mission Revival features include the tiled gable roof with exposed rafter ends, round-arched windows and buttressed side walls.〔(Library of Congress. Historic American Buildings Survey. ''Our Lady of the Wayside Roman Catholic Church, 930 Portola Road, Portola Valley, San Mateo County, CA''. Data pages. )〕
James Rupert Miller, an architect and a member of The Family, gave the assignment of designing the church to a rising young draftsman at his firm: Timothy L. Pflueger. The building was 19-year-old Pflueger's first commission. Pflueger drew on his familiarity with Mission San Francisco de Asís in his native San Francisco for inspiration.
In 1977, a plaque was placed proclaiming the building as California Registered Historical Landmark number 909.〔(NoeHill Travels in California. California Historical Landmarks in San Mateo County. ''California Landmark 909. Our Lady of the Wayside'' )〕 The church was also added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1977.
The historic church suffered extensive damage in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and was recommended for demolition by structural experts. Instead, it was repaired by its congregation at a cost of US$600,000.〔(St. Denis Parish. History )〕
