Has Warners and Wiltern signage, which would have been 2 years after Pacific Theatre’s chain took it over per the Overview. So they or Franklin Life must have re-exposed the Warners marquee signage during exterior changes.

I’ve come across an early `50s photo of what appears to be a Stanford Theatre on Congress near 2nd Street, but can find no record of it anywhere. Looks to be a small marquee beneath a vertical sign. Anyone hear of it?

1969 photo and below history added via Bob Emerson:

PRUNEYARD SHOPPING CENTER. San Jose.

It features three office towers built in 1970, one of which is the tallest building in the area outside downtown San Jose.

In the Center, there is an inn, many shops and a movie theater built in 1964 and renovated in 1994 and 2018.
