In San Jose, for example, another midwifery was located directly across the street, next to a hospital. Sources state that this building was moved to this site around 1908, and in fact, had been two separate structures that were joined together at the time of moving. The long, one-story structure is built of clapboard siding, painted a light gray. The small porch is supported by a pair of simple round columns on each corner, and the gabled roof is composition shingles. The interior consists of 10 small rooms leading off a central hallway, a kitchen with two stoves, a dining room, and a bathroom.
Walls are plaster, and floors wood.
One Hori-san resided here and operated the midwifery. It was usual for at least four to five women to be staying here at a time. The building is almost directly across the street from Kuwabara Hospital, and so had access to physicians when complications arose. Dr. S. Nakahara, a dentist from Hawaii, married Hori-san's daughter, and practiced in the front portion of the building from approximately 1920 to 1940. The dental office and midwifery served the larger San Jose area, with clients coming from all of Santa Clara County.
