This house was built in 1884 in downtown San José, located at 91 North San Pedro Street near the corner of St. John Street. The neighborhood was an Italian American commercial district and center for the community for a hundred years. Beginning in 1926 the MenMuir family lived in the house for almost forty years.

The house is an example of a typical building found in San José in the nineteenth century because of its “false front” appearance and distinctive corner decorations. It was moved to History Park in 1972 and transformed into a nineteenth century print shop.
