Description

The Fretwell Building was completed in 1907, built on land vacant since the 1901 fire. Joseph J. Fretwell, a jeweler and optician, is pictured here in front of his new building. Other early tenants were an electrician, a real estate office and an attorney. The 'Los Gatos News' noted that while the new building was one-story with a basement, it was of reinforced concrete and constructed "so as to be built onto." In recent years this building has been a favorite spot to shop for antiques. BDG077
