The San Jos? Labor Temple, located at 72 North Second Street, was a hub of the city's turn of the century labor movement. It was established informally between 1901 and 1903 by Harry Ryan, an early San Jos? labor leader, and Jack London, the famous California author. Jack London wrote the last portion of his classic, The Call of the Wild, as well as parts of The Sea Wolf, here in Harry Ryan's office. The building became the official San Jos? Labor Temple in 1911 and served this purpose until 1948. It was demolished in the early 1950's.
