Casa Grande, a sprawling house built in 1855 in San Jose's New Almaden mining settlement, is about to be restored to its full grandeur.

The $5 million rehabilitation of the red brick Federalist-revival building will include seismic upgrades and restoration of the interior and exterior.

"When we have historic treasures like Casa Grande, we have an obligation to preserve them for the community and future generations," said Santa Clara County Board of Supervisor of Don Gage in a statement.

At one time, Almaden was the most valuable single mine in California and played a key role before and during the Gold Rush of 1849.

Casa Grande sits within the Almaden Quicksilver County Park. Between 1927 and the county's acquisition of Casa Grande in 1997, the 7,756-square foot building has served as a resort, saloon, restaurant, house, post office, dance hall, theater and office space.

The funding is provided by a variety of sources including the Santa Clara County Historical Heritage Grant Program, the California Heritage Grant and the National Trust for Historic Preservation Grant.

Bevilacqua and Sons, a general contracting firm in San Francisco will oversee the project.
