Sixteen Mile House has a colorful and vintage history dating back to the 1800’s. The original building was located at 1200 El Camino Real in Millbrae. It was built in 1872 by Juan Sanchez, a member of one of Millbrae’s first families. Originally a hotel on the Butterfield Route, it was later acquired by Wells Fargo, whose stages ran from San Francisco to Kansas City. El Camino Real was the main road connecting most of the Spanish missions along California’s coast. A few years later, a shortened road left only 16 miles to San Francisco and the name “16 Mile House” was taken. Other places sprang up and eventually they became known as the “Mile Houses” – one almost every mile. Over the years, the original building was used as a hotel with a parlor and a saloon, a general store, and a speakeasy. A bronze plaque was placed at the original site in remembrance of the historical place when the building was demolished in 1970.
