1905 Santa Cruz Avenue and Main Street

Transportation a century ago was just as varied, just not as fast, as it is today.

This photo of the intersection of Main Street and Santa Cruz Avenue, taken about 1905, was posed to show all the means of transportation available to the citizens of Los Gatos: foot power, horse and wagon, Interurban electric train and automobile. The large building in the background is the Theresa Block, demolished in 1931.
