A seven-decade-old building in downtown San Jose with ties to a Wild West icon might be bulldozed and replaced with a parking lot.
115 Terraine Street, a building totaling 44,700 square feet in downtown San Jose, as seen in the 1940s when it was a Levi Strauss manufacturing center.
For an unspecified period of time starting in the 1940s, Levi Strauss used the Terraine Street building as a manufacturing center, according to documents on file with History San Jose. “We continue to challenge our friends in leadership and the development community to do so much better than demolishing a place where women who could sew and who had sewing machines were hired to become the backbone of manufacturing for an iconic product,” Sodergren said.
In prior years, San Jose city planners frowned upon proposals to replace existing buildings with surface parking lots, according to Staedler. In fact, city planners didn’t even consider surface parking lots to be legitimate development proposals, he added.
