Holloway House Gilroy Museum Wheeler Hospital High School came through unscathed from an earthquake that devastated the city. Like the nearly indestructible 1912 Gilroy High School, another of Week’s structures, the 1902 Masonic Temple, no longer exists. Until destroyed by fire, it sat on the corner of Monterey and Lewis Streets next to the Strand Theater building. Scheduled walking tours that point out and discuss the Weeks structures in Gilroy are offered via the Gilroy Museum. For information on times and meeting place, call the Museum at 408.846.0446. Weeks’s well-built structures, designed for practicality as well as appeal, not only suited their era, but also continue to serve today. Many of his homes and public buildings still stand, both occupied and appreciated, over a century after they were built.
