The March 12 fire at History Park destroyed a historic house, including items stored there for events, and damaged paintings in an adjacent building.
History San Jose CEO Bill Schroh Jr. says the nonprofit started an emergency relief fund in the wake of last Sunday’s devastating fire, which destroyed the historic Nelson-DeLuz house and damaged two other buildings.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but its effects will continue to be felt at History Park, a 14-acre village of original and recreated houses and buildings that represent decades of San Jose’s past. The Nelson-DeLuz House was being used by O’Briens — now operated by the owners of Treatbot — to host themed tea events. The house also served as a storage spot for many items utilized for those events and others.
The program honors individuals and schools who provide positive role models and exhibit caring behavior for youth. The Asset Champions honored Friday at the Santa Clara Convention Center were Lauri Scirigione of Lauri Gray’s School of Dance; Silicon Valley Youth Climate Action; Farah Tavana of Van Meter Elementary in the Los Gatos Union School District; and Los Gatos High School teacher Annameekee Hesik.
