Nine years after a devastating fire, Jim Salata of Garden City Construction has brought the building back to its former glory.
Most people wouldn’t think about restoring a building like Faber’s Cyclery, a 140-year-old wooden structure on the southern edge of downtown San Jose that was devastated by a fire in 2013. Most people would bulldoze the wreckage and build something new. Jim Salata is not most people.
Christian Salgado looks at the damage done to a historic building that formerly housed Faber’s Cyclery in downtown San Jose, Calif. on Friday, April 26, 2013. The saloon passed through several hands before it wound up in 1903 with the Benjamin brothers, who continued to operate it until Prohibition. At that point it became a soft-drink stand — though who can say what people were really imbibing — until 1923 when Jacob Faber opened his bicycle shop there.
The wood siding from the original Faber’s Cyclery building was salvaged and a portion of the original painted sign was preserved during a restoration of the fire-damaged building unveiled Nov. 21, 2022. But a crazy idea like bringing Faber’s Cyclery back to life needs someone with passion at the helm, and that was Jim Salata. I look forward to toasting his vision when he finally gets the saloon open.Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition Executive Director Shiloh Ballard announced her plans to ride off into the sunset, as least as far as leading the bike advocacy group is concerned. Ballard, who took the handlebars of the organization in 2015, says she’ll stay on until a replacement is found.
