NOTICE - WINCHESTER RANCH SALVAGE OPPORTUNITY

Identified as a Structure of Merit by the City of San Jose, the clubhouse, originally a barn, and two gazebo structures are available for salvage prior to the planned demolition of the structure.  Located in San Jose, CA.

This building, consisting mostly of wood, is described as being associated with Charles and Leila Cali, during the later years of their life and last years of operation of their ranch. The clubhouse is also associated with the time period in which Leila Cali provided a corporate leadership role at San Jose Water.  The former barn was remodeled over time to provide housing for the Cali family and was later rehabilitated into a clubhouse in 1976. Although the former barn has been rehabilitated, it retains some of its historical integrity to its period of significance (1930 - 1970) per the National Register’s seven aspects of integrity. The former barn has maintained its rural character and contains most of its original materials and workmanship. Additionally, the structure conveys visual associations with the early ranch and as a historic building from the Interwar period in San José’s history. While the former barn meets the Structure of Merit criteria, it would not qualify as a significant historic resource under CEQA. 

Qualified and interested parties are encouraged to contact the redevelopment team for more information regarding opportunities and requirements for potential salvage.

Please note: Winchester Ranch is private property.  No unauthorized access will be permitted.  Please contact Bill Sadler to schedule an appointment to view the building(s).
