Historical Landmark

Description:
This building, constructed in 1867 by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad Company, is the oldest railroad passenger station in California.

The extension on the northwest was added to accommodate increased traffic generated by the establishment of Camp Fremont nearby during World War I.
