Doxsee won the prize of $10 for his entry: "By Government Test, Our Climate is Best." The wording was later shortened to read: "Climate Best By Government Test" and placed near the entry of downtown Redwood City.
The top of the San Mateo County History Museum features a domed roof surrounded by a decorative stone fence with three Civil War style eagles with wings erect at its front.
