OUR
MISSION
Field Family Home of the
Reed Historic District
Preservation Action Council of San Jose �PAC*SJ� was formed in ����
when citizens rallied to save the Jose Theatre. Members advocate the
reuse and preservation of older homes and structures because they are the
physical repositories of our history. Preservation is also "good business"
and protects our landfills from excess waste.
The Reed Historic District was designated by San Jose City Council in
June, ����. It reflects the context of early residential development south
of Washington Square �San Jose State University� from ���� to the ����s.
The District is bounded by South �th St., South �th St., East San
Salvador St., and Interstate Freeway ���.
Donations of property, estates and specialty items are needed to continue
our educational goals. Please call ����� �������� to join or donate.
The PAC*SJ office is located at the Petit Trianon, �� North �th Street,
San Jose, CA �����.
Built in the early ����’s, the Field Family Home is an excellent example
of the Victorian era Queen Anne style and features many decorative
elements such as wall materials �slapboard, fish�scale shingles, and carved
panels�, and ornament such as molded and carved details, bull’s eyes, and
spindles. One of the most distinguishing features of the building is the
verandah located east of the bay window. It is heavily decorated with
spindles and trim which form a semicircular arch over the top of the
stairway. It has a high degree of integrity as the location, design, materi�
als, workmanship, feeling, and association appear to be unchanged and
could qualify as a Candidate City Landmark.
