Folger Stable History
Folger Stable was built in 1905 by James A. Folger II of Folgers Coffee Company. He commissioned Arthur Brown Jr., in partnership with Henry Schulze, to design the estate and stables. His great-grandson, Peter Folger II, sold the stables and 942 acres of land to Martin Wunderlich in 1956. Wunderlich then donated the stables and surrounding land to the County of San Mateo in 1974. Without public funds available to preserve the main building and surrounding smaller buildings, Folger Stable fell into disrepair. In 2002, the Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks established the Folger Estate Stable Committee and, in conjunction with the San Mateo County Parks Department, began renovating the stable to its original condition. In 2004, the Folger Estate Stable Historic District was named to the National Register of Historic Places. The renovation was completed in 2010 and includes a museum that was the original Carriage Room of the Stable.
