The First Unitarian Church of San José on North Third Street

Designed in Richardsonian Romanesque style by architect George Page, this church has been registered on both the National Register of Historic Places and the California Historical Landmarks. The congregation purchased the site in 1888, and the cornerstone was laid in a ceremony on September 23, 1891.

Dedicated to The Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA) and "People Acting in Community Together", the church has been a part of the San José community for over a century. It serves as a place of worship with a history dating back to 1865, when Unitarian services were first held in City Hall.

As you meander past, take a moment to imagine the stories that fill its walls. From its early members who were pioneers in medicine and engineering to its resilience following a major fire in 1995, the building remains a significant piece of the city's architectural and social fabric.
