Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The 1889 Letitia Building is a three-story Romanesque Revival property originally dating to 1889 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building served as a rooming house until 1922, when it was remodeled into office and retail uses. Interior finishes emphasized historical character, including wood railings, crown moldings, light fixtures, and woodwork throughout, along with prominent staircases.

The building sits on the northeast corner of San Fernando and First streets in downtown San Jose, and it is named for Letitia Ryland Burnett, daughter of California’s first governor. The Ryland Building is just next door.

For more than two decades, the building has been occupied by the Hopkins and Carley law firm, reflecting the property’s longstanding use as professional office space.
