Description: San Jose High School damaged after the 1906 earthquake. "The high school was build in 1898, was designed by local architect John Lenzen and built at a cost of $100,000. The high school was situated at the southwest corner of Seventh and San Fernando streets. It had been used for less than eight years when the 1906 earthquake struck. The roof and walls collapsed, leaving the building in ruins."
Historical and directional descriptions were taken from Images of America, San Jose's Historic Downtown, written by Lauren Miranda Gilbert and Bob Johnson.
