San Jose in the 1940s: What San Jose looked like During the World War II

As World War II began, the San Jose economy shifted from agriculture to industrial manufacturing when the United States War Department contracted the Food Machinery Corporation to build 1,000 Landing Vehicle Tracked. In 1943, IBM established its first West Coast branch in San Jose with a downtown punch card plant, and in 1952 opened an IBM Research facility.

San Jose experienced tumultuous times during the Great Depression and the Second World War. Several black, Mexican and Japanese Americans were affected by the racial tension in the neighborhood. Japanese Americans were put into internment during the war, while anti-Mexican violence erupted in 1943 after riots over zoot suits in Los Angeles.

Here are some historical photos that show San Jose, California, during the 1940s.

Montgomery Hotel at First and San Antonio Streets, San Jose, 1947.

The Montgomery Hotel opened at the corner of First and Paseo de San Antonio in 1911. It was designed by San Jose architect and designer, William Binder. It was considered San Jose's first class downtown hotel and in the 1920s, a single room went for approximately $1.50 per night. A private bathroom cost an additional dollar. The Montgomery Hotel suffered damage from the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 and in January 2000, the building was relocated 186 feet south of its original location to First and San Carlos streets.
