This building, originally a residence, was built in 1884 in downtown San José at 91 North San Pedro Street near the corner of St. John Street. The neighborhood was an Italian American commercial district for one hundred years and the center of the Italian American community in San José.

Beginning in 1926, the MenMuir family lived in the house for almost forty years. The house was moved to History Park in 1972 and transformed into a nineteenth century print shop. It is typical of a building found in San José in the nineteenth century because of its “false front” appearance and distinctive corner decorations.
