This Victorian-style wood frame one-story home containing five rooms

room s ·chool house, and was known as the 11 Market Street School 11 from
approximately 1894 to 1.917. The first and second grades were taught
here. One of Peter Johnson's ilsters was an earl~ teacher. There
were a number of such primary schools in and about Los Gatos in the
