Minutes respectfully submitted: Nicole Johnson, Senior Planner City of Saratoga Page 1 of 3 MEMORANDUM MEETING DATE: July 13 , 2021 TO: Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) FROM: Nicole Johnson, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Item 6a-Application No. HPC21-0005 and HPC21-0006-Consider adding oil painting and church bell to the Heritage Resource Inventory Property Location: 13718 Saratoga Ave Property APN: 397-30-047 Property Owner : Roman Catholic Bishop of San Jose (Sacred Heart Church) Project Description: Oil Painting of Saint John the Evangelist The painting was presented to the first Roman Catholic church in McCarthysville (Saratoga) and is over 100 years old. It has remained in Saratoga since 1890. In 1894 two acres of land on the corner of Sixth and Lumber Street (Big Basin Way) was purchased. The land was paid for by Mayor Thomas Scully who donated $600 and the Wallace brothers paid $250 or the balance. A fund raising committee was formed and raised $5000 to pay for building the church. Professor John J. Montgomery, pioneer aviator who developed the first glider for controlled flight was active in the fund raising. In 1895 a lovely church was built at Sixth and Lumber Street (Big Basin Way). B y 1955, the congregation had grown to the point that the Sixth and Big Basin property was not large enough, and the current property on Saratoga Avenue was acquired. Geary Hall, a transitional facility seating 700 with a side chapel was constructed in 1960 and on March 2 that year the first mass was offered. In 1961, additional land was purchased for further expansion of the parish facilities. Preparation for the new church began in 1967, construction began in 1969 and was Page 2 of 3 completed in March 1970. The church was designed by William L. Duquette. Duquette also developed the architecture department at West Valley College. One of the unique facts of the church, when seen from the air, is the church is in the shape of a human heart. The bell was transferred to the new church. The oil painting is approximately 3' x 5' of St. John the Evangelist. It was hung in the Church of St. John the Evangelist in 1890 when the church was dedicated on July 13, 1890. The painting was transferred to Sacred Heart in 1895. Sacred Heart Church Bell The original church bell that hung from the Sacred Heart church located on Sixth and Big Basin Way (1895 -1961) now hangs at Sacred Heart church on Saratoga Avenue (1961-to the present). Peter Donohue of San Francisco, founder of the Union Iron Works (new Bethlehem Shipyards) and the builder of the first gas works in S an Francisco used to come to Saratoga and enjoy the Congress Springs water. He donated the bell for the Sacred Heart Church located on Sixth and Lumber Street (Big Basin Way), According to church custom, the bells are named for various saints and the bell at Sacred Heart is called St. Peter's bell after the patron of the donor. Note a plaque is to that effect is located at the base of the cross in front of the Sacred Heart located on Saratoga Avenue. According to the Saratoga Star in 1897, The 500 pound bell was ordered by Donahue and came from Troy, New York. An article in the Saratoga Star in 1897 said the bell has "a very sweet tone; and nothing sounds pleasanter on the evening air than the sweet mellow tones of a bell. The bell was dedicated on July 2, 1897. They had a band with musical instruments, choir of young men from the Novitiate of Los Gatos. Over 600 people attended. When the bell was transferred to Sacred Heart on Saratoga Avenue it was decided to showcase it in a large cross. According to Sacred Heart history, "The bell was to be used and featured in a detached structure that would at the same time indicate the Church Christian Nature. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the HPC adopt the resolutions (Attachment 1 and 2) to add the oil painting and church bell to the Heritage Resource Inventory. Page 3 of 3 Attachments: 1.
