Description
San Jose's first high school was built at the southwest corner of Seventh and San Fernando Streets. The $100,000 brick-and-stone structure was designed by Jacob Lenzen and Son and included an assembly hall that could seat up to 2000. The new school opened in September 1898 but was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake.
