SAN JOSE — Google intends to rescue and preserve several big reminders of San Jose’s industrial past as part of its plan to develop a transit-oriented new neighborhood on the western edges of the city’s downtown area.
An old bakery, 19th-Century Victorian bungalows, a long-time ironworks, a century-old foundry, a historic utility building, and a famed “dancing pig” sign will be all preserved fully or in part by Google as it develops its Downtown West village near San Jose’s Diridon train station.
