"Buy land, they're not making it any more" ~ Mark Twain. Resolution. No. 72122: Designates the Wilder-Hait house at 1190 Emory St., as a landmark of Special Historic nature. The property is under the Mills Act Program; I have provided a presentation on the Mills Act from the County Assessor's office. Please contact the City of San Jose to see what can & cannot be done to the property itself. This is your chance to own one of the last pieces of history in San Jose's Rose Garden. Built in 1923, the Mercury Herald called it one of the loveliest homes in San Jose. Sitting a block from The Alameda, where Stately mansions lined the gateway to downtown San Jose. This 5,712 sq.ft., 6 Bd/3 Ba house was dubbed the Castle of the Rose Garden in an article in the Mercury News in '05. This is one of the largest lots in the Rose Garden at just over 50,300 sq.ft. Walk through the opulent foyer, take a step back in time and experience scale the likes of which are hard to find in the Bay Area these days. The huge Dining Room has South East facing ceiling to floor windows offering dramatic Breakfast or Dinner Sun-exposures. Imagine the breath-taking summer parties you can hold in the massive backyard. Check out our renderings for inspiration, or put your architect hat on and come up with your own.
