The Daily Journal has a lovely little piece on the centenary year for Kohl Mansion that notes
In 1982, the mansion was even entered into the National Register of Historic Places, which lists historically significant sites throughout the United States.
Other activities to be held at the mansion to celebrate the anniversary include a lecture on the history of the mansion by Michael Svanevik, a professor emeritus at College of San Mateo, on April 29. There will be a 100th birthday party on the green Aug. 10 with music, mansion tours, a classic car show, a slice of birthday cake and proclamations presented by community leaders and public officials.
This is a nice follow-up to the B'game Centennial celebrations in 2008. Remember them?
Here's the main room where the chamber music events are held as well as all sorts of other community events. Great year to acquaint yourself with Kohl Mansion if you haven't done so.
I hope the sisters are OK:
A norovirus outbreak in Burlingame resulted in the temporary shuttering of the Sisters of Mercy campus, where sisters are being quarantined until the threat of spreading the infection has passed, a spokeswoman for the community said.
and that the tour next week goes off as planned
A variety of summer events were scheduled to be held by the Sisters of Mercy, such as a tour of the Kohl Mansion during next week’s National Night Out community event, said Goetzinger, but the calendar has subsequently been cleared.
