Millbrae grew fast after 1948, when it incorporated, and the 1953 sale of the Mills estate to Trousdale Construction brought many of its postwar homes. Their original bathrooms are now due for updates. Bathroom remodels that change the layout need plans on at least 11×17 sheets, following the City’s bathroom handout, with a first plan review typically 2 to 4 weeks.
