Cannery Building, Poles, and Shuttered Windows

Posted on 24 January 2009

Old brick cannery building with metal shutters, utility poles and wires, sidewwalk and street in San Jose, California.

Just west of downtown San Jose, near the Los Gatos Creek, is the site of the old Del Monte cannery. For many years, back when Santa Clara Valley was still an agricultural center, this was a thriving area centered around the very busy cannery. The cannery is gone now, replace by new condos with more under construction. However, on a few side streets in the area some of the old cannery buildings still stand, including this brick building with the interesting metal window shutters.
