Aerial view from the Del Carlo Collection ( www.sourisseauacademy.org/archon/index.php?p=digitallibra...) of the now gone K Mart at 1454 Fruitdale Avenue.

 

The K Mart closed it's doors in 2001, well before the other San Jose K Mart's went out. The site sat empty for a while before apartments went up on the lot, with construction still occurring to this day, almost 11 years after the closure.

 

The diagonal road is Southwest Expressway, something that is not really an expressway but was initially planned as one, it was never completed and ends at Bascom Avenue.

Also I still live in this area today, it is odd to see how much it's grown, there were so many orchards then and lack of sprawl seen today.

These photos belong to the IIT Downtown Campus Library as part of the Library of International Relations Collection.

 

The photos were taken by a member of the U.S. Marines who was in Japan in the fall of 1945, shortly after the end of World War II. At this point we do not have the name of the photographer and we do not know how these photos were given to the library. There are 100 photos in this collection.
