Burlingame’s little-known mid-century modern master architect William A. Whifler’s works revealed in image, video, and stories by his writer/director son, Graeme Whifler.
Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 19th when we will be treated to a visual and narrative overview of the significant works of mid-century architect and Burlingame High graduate,
William A. Whifler. In 1967, Whifler co-founded the Department of Architecture at the College of San Mateo. Burlingame City Hall and the Burlingame residence located at 1544 Drake Ave. that has recently been listed in the National Register of Historic Places, are just two of Whifler’s notable works in the area.
