Looking forward to seeing Heritage Park when it's ready, with this house in it! A small-ish park seems like the perfect new site for the small-ish Immigrant House.

Heritage park is the only thing the city has done I've agreed with, I wish they would focus more on projects like this and other safety and quality of life projects. Though I know it's not realistic when everyone is in the pocket of Prometheus...

Member, I hope you've also agreed with Mariposa Park and other beautiful recreational spaces that have been added over the past several years.

Another old house saved for our future residents. Rengstorff House was the first great save. I remember it sitting. forlorn and seemingly forgotten for (?) a decade, foundation-less, at Shoreline Park. It is nice that both the community through NGO Friends of Immigrant House and the city departments (Parks & Rec and Public Works) have been able to work together on this project. (Dan Rich as current City Manager, chief bureaucrat :).

Our last several City Councils have also shown (IMO) the ability to direct good Public Policy in this instance.

A well managed public organization, can make community investments that, though a bit pricy in the short run, pay for themselves in community involvement and education, over the long run. May this little house, have a good next century.

I lived in that shed between 1992 and 1998. I have fond memories of my 1st dog there and where my wife and I lived before we bought a house in San Jose. Thank you for saving it. I had little idea of it's historic significance but had heard that long ago, it was used as a blacksmith shed.
