Downtown San Jose in 1866

In my research for The Alameda history project in San Jose, CA, I've discovered some historical photographs in need of some TLC. This is my attempt at restoration work, and I really enjoyed the process.

As a photographer myself, I appreciate the photographers who came before me to document our city's changing landscape.
