The National Bank of San Mateo, at 164 S. B St. in San Mateo, California, is a Beaux Arts-style bank built in 1924. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]

It is one of three San Mateo buildings designed by "pioneer California architect" William H. Weeks; and it was built by contractor Samuel A. Wisnom.[2]

In 1955 the local bank was absorbed by, and became a branch of, the Crocker-Anglo Bank. In the 1980s, Wells Fargo absorbed Crocker-Anglo, found this branch to be redundant, and closed it.[2]

It is the only example of Beaux Arts style in San Mateo, and was deemed to be a significant example of the style, despite the instance being somewhat watered-down and late relative to most other works in the style, including those of Weeks.[2]
