Summary

The San Jose Heinlenville-Nihonmachi Project is located in downtown San Jose on the city blocks bounded by Taylor Street, North Seventh Street, Jackson Street, and North Sixth Street. Features include several wood, ceramic, and iron sewer pipes discovered through a series of trenches placed across what once was the back of house lots. This portion of Heinlenville, known as Chinatown, was built in 1877 and occupied until 1931 when the John Heinlen Company went bankrupt. Current use of this entire city block is by the City of San Jose as their Corporation Yard.
