Description: View through an arcade arch toward a courtyard at San Jose High School. The building on the left houses the auditorium and administrative offices. The building in the background with the arched arcade holds classrooms. A palm tree grows in the left center of the courtyard. The new San Jose High School campus was built on the site of the old school destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. The school was built in the Mission Revival style, incorporating tile roofs and open courtyards. The school was moved in 1952 when adjacent San Jose State College needed the site for expansion.
