Description
This 13-story building was built in 1926, yet it still dominates downtown San Jose's skyline as it competes in architectural grandeur with more modern buildings. Considered by some historians to be the city's first "skyscraper," it was built by architect H. A. Minton to one of the world's first "earthquake-proof" constructions in the Bay Area region.
