About Executive San Jose Athletic
Club
 The
Athletic Facility is a Historic Treasure - The magnificent Greco - Roman-style
historical landmark building known as "San
Jose Athletic Club" has a colorful history, and was almost demolished to
make way for "progress" in the late 1970's. Saved by some bold and
Forward-thinking local leadership, it has survived as one of San Jose's truly
great monuments. Tours will be available during the event.
Built by the Freemasons in 1927 as San Jose's Masonic lodge, it was a masterpiece
of design and a centerpiece of the then -Tony St. James Park neighborhood. Along
with the old downtown post office, the later-demolished gothic city hall, the
historic courthouse trinity Episcopal Church, and other historic structures that
predated it, it was a major attraction for our out-of- town visitors, writers
and photographers describing the best attributes of San Jose. By 1977, having
been damaged by several earthquakes and needing deferred repairs, it was focused
by the city to close until repairs could be effected. When the masons obtained
cost estimates, they found the huge repair costs prohibitive ( about $ 500,000
- imagine that! ) A decision was made to build a new temple in a different location,
and to sell the existing one to be demolished and replaced by a modern office
building.
Fortunately , some alert members of the San Jose chamber of commerce were
able to quickly lobby the city and federal governments to designate the building
as a historic landmark, thus preventing it’s demolition-at least until
it could be proven that no beneficial be found for it. For the next three years,
a chamber for committee studied various ideas from private and public developers
and agencies. Finally, in 1980, the owners of the venerable Oakland Athletic
Club, a family-owned enterprise with a great history over two generations, proposed
to convert the building to a first rate athletic club and social facility, retraining
it’s historic façade and the traditional qualities of it’s
remarkable interior – a challenging undertaking.
After two years of design and planning discussions, architectural plans and
approvals, and extensive renovation and construction, the building was finally
given a re-birth as the San Jose Athletic Club, which opened in November of 1981.
Then considered the Premier Club of it’s type in all of silicon valley,
it’s quickly attracted a premium membership of downtown business and professional
people, and became the most popular venue for upscale social events and weddings
in downtown San Jose.
