IBM, SanJose； Opera San José

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Jose,_California


IBM established its West Coast headquarters in San Jose in 1943 and opened a downtown research and development facility in 1952. Both would prove to be harbingers for the economy of San Jose, as Reynold Johnson and his team would later invent RAMAC, as well as the Hard disk drive, and the technological side of San Jose's economy grew.^[28]

  謝岡 原建物建於1927年,2001~2004 重修,據聖荷西市政府的重修說明是 a mixture of Gothic, Moorish and Renaissance styles (難怪不像inter-war period 的風格)

  Jordan Wen 謝謝資訊，你能還原1930年代的聖荷覀，矽谷尚未存在，它是一個什麼樣的城市，會需要這樣的劇院？

The opera company opened its 2004–2005 season in the 1,119 seat California Theatre, a former vaudeville and film theatre designed by Weeks and Day. Opened in 1927 as the Fox California Theatre (originally with 1,848 seats), this movie palace was said to be the finest theater in California.^[2] With its magnificent Jazz Age décor, it was part of a wave of ornate theaters built to define downtowns all over the country in the 1920s and 1930s.
