Neighborhood Guide: Naglee Park

When you enter Naglee Park, you’re visiting one of San Jose’s charming communities + historic districts. The neighborhood’s roots date back to the 1860s, so we wanted to get up-to-date on the latest and greatest in the area. If you haven’t checked it out, this might be your calling to discover why so many people love to call it home.

The early days

The Naglee Park neighborhood began with the estate of Civil War General Henry Morris Naglee. His Victorian house was built in the 1860s at the corner of 14th + San Fernando, and is the neighborhood’s oldest building today.

In 1902, Naglee’s two daughters developed the Naglee Park Improvement Company to develop the large estate’s land into Santa Clara County’s first modern residential subdivision complete with paved streets, utilities, and restrictions on housing sizes.

From darkness to light

San Jose’s Miguel Machuca seeks to “bring light from darkness.” | Video via 1Culture, by @iv_oem and @gwino_iv
When the pandemic began, Andrew Espino started selling his friends’ artwork out of the trunk of his car. More than two years later in May, he opened up the newest art gallery in Downtown, 1Culture — located at 136 E. Santa Clara Street.

In July, we highlighted the gallery’s opening show, “Day 1s” — but if you couldn’t catch it, here’s your next chance to explore San Jose’s vibrant local talent.

1Culture’s latest show, “The Divine Message,” is open now through Sun., Oct. 16 — and is a solo exhibition of works by San Jose-based artist, Miguel Machuca.
