Johnson Industries headquarters (Johnsonverse)

The Johnson Industries headquarters, located in San Jose, California, United States, serves as the corporate headquarters for the Johnson Industries conglomerate. The 900-acre lot contains the Johnson Studios lot, as well as other public and administrative buildings. The complex also houses the offices for many of the company's divisions, with notable exceptions including NASCAR, which remains at Charlotte, 20th Century Fox, which remains on its namesake lot in Century City, and The Walt Disney Company, which remains on its namesake lot in Burbank.
The prior corporate headquarters buildings, opened in 1862 and 1900, were in other parts of San Jose. The current headquarters opened in 1918, when the Johnson Studios lot opened; the original building is currently in use as the Johnson Industries Museum, and the 1900 building is currently an administrative building.
==Background==
Prior to 1900, Johnson Industries operated in a four-story building. The building was constructed in 1862, the same year the company was founded; in 1900, the company moved to a newly-constructed twenty-story building. Due to the company's expansion, its then-CEO, Jeffrey P. Johnson, and founders Daniel and J. R. Johnson, decided to relocate the company's headquarters; around this time, Johnson began construction on a lot for its then-fledgling subsidiary Johnson Studios, which was incorporated into the headquarters lot. After six years (with the Johnson Studios lot opened in 1915), the lot opened in 1918. Originally much smaller, it has been expanded several times over the years. Both former headquarters buildings were retained by Johnson for many years as administrative buildings; in 1960, the original building closed down for preparation of its conversion into a company museum, which opened on February 1, 1962 (coinciding with the company's 100th anniversary); said building still operates as a museum to this day. The 1900 building continues to be used for administrative purposes.
