An old winery and rows of trees once called the land that De Anza College sits on home.
Following the end of World War II, Santa Clara Valley saw an explosion in population, and construction on the college started in 1960 and completed in 1967 for $15 million.
De Anza’s land had been an orchard, vineyard, and winery owned by Charles and Ella Baldwin.
What is now the California History Center was once the Baldwin home.
Other structures that remain include the original winery which now serves as faculty offices and print center, and the Sunken Garden, whose pool has since been transformed into a fountain.
Over the years De Anza has changed drastically, from its humble roots as a quiet orchard to its transformation into the bustling high tech community college that it is today.
Despite knew additions and renovations, much of the original structures from De Anza’s early days still stand as they did before, seen in these photos as the backdrop to 47 years of history since De Anza officially opened in 1968.
