This colonial revival style house at 519 Grand Avenue was originally at the northwest corner of Grand and Spruce Avenues. It was built in 1905 by Doctor Harry Garritson Plymire. While he saw patients in the Martin Brick Block (corners of Grand and Maple Avenues) this proud building served as his private residence as well as his offices. In 1913, Dr. Plymire converted this house to “South San Francisco General Hospital” - the first hospital between San Francisco and San Mateo.
