| Built
in 1797, the Peralta Adobe is the last remaining structure
from El Pueblo de San Jose de Guadalupe, California's
first settlement.
The Peralta Adobe is San José’s oldest

The Fallon House is a 15-room Victorian Mansion built
by an early San Jose mayor whose legacy is surrounded
by controversy to this day.
Tucked around the corner from the many fine restaurants
on downtown San Pedro Square, these two little well-preserved
buildings represent a slice of California history and
offer a quiet respite to the hi-tech hi-rises of downtown
San Jose. |
