Historical consultants PAST Consultants, LLC have developed a mid-century context statement for San Jose, at the request of the Preservation Action Council of San Jose, and funded by the San Jose Redevelopment Agency Strong Neighborhoods Initiative program. This context statement documents San Jose's contributions to California Modernism, and focuses on resources built between 1935-1975.The document provides a history of the development of the City of San Jose between the years 1920-1975, delineates architectural styles, historic themes and associated property types, and catalogues local practitioners. The document is available here.
On June 2, 2009, the San Jose City Council approved the Guadalupe/Washington Conservation Area. The Conservation Area is only the third neighborhood (after the 2004 Market Almaden and the 2007 Martha Gardens Conservation Areas) to receive this designation since the formal Conservation Area designation process was adopted by ordinance in 2004. The three other Conservation Areas previously established are Hanchett and Hester Park, Naglee Park, and Palm Haven.
