In addition to a city house in San Francisco, CA, the adopted heir of railroad magnate Mark Hopkins, Jr. (1813-1878), also owned this country estate, the former Barron-Latham Residence in Menlo Park, CA, a neighborhood that the elite of San Francisco, CA, adopted in the late nineteenth century for its weekend residences. He received this estate in 1888 as a wedding gift from his adoptive mother, Mary Sherwood Hopkins (1818-1891). The 280-acres of land was bounded by the San Francisquito Creek, Ravenswood Avenue, the Southern Pacific railroad tracks and Middlefield Road in what is now Menlo Park and Palo Alto, CA.
