Heritage Homes

Santa Clara has several historic homes in the area known as “ Old Quad.” The Mission Library at the corner of Lexington and Main Streets was the first public library building in the City of Santa Clara, built in 1955. For those interested in preserving and restoring their historic homes, the Mission Library has a special collection of 143 titles, as part of the Heritage Homes collection. Issues of the Old House Journal are also available as part of the collection.
