Downtown Historic District
Downtown Historic District, Historic district in downtown San Jose, United States.
The Downtown Historic District encompasses multiple blocks between South First Street and South Third Street, featuring diverse architectural styles from different periods.
Following the 1906 earthquake, Edwardian and Neoclassical commercial structures emerged, replacing damaged Victorian and Romanesque buildings in the downtown core.
The district includes the Knox-Goodrich Building, La Rosa Pharmacy, and the Oddfellows Building, representing the late 19th-century architectural heritage of San Jose.
The area contains numerous offices, restaurants, and entertainment venues, all housed within preserved buildings that have been retrofitted for earthquake protection.
The Bank of America Building, constructed in 1926, stands as San Jose's first skyscraper and introduced earthquake-resistant construction techniques to the city.
