Goodnight Stonelight: Saving a San Jose Treasure

Please visit stonelighttile... to help :: Stonelight Tile is a custom tile company with a 97-year history in San Jose. Previously forced to move due to a polluting neighbor business, Stonelight is faced with the difficult task of finding a new home again today. Due to their current landlord’s refusal to renew or extend their lease, Stonelight Tile must vacate their South 1st Street location by October 31, 2017.
This short timeline presents significant challenges given the amount of equipment and materials that require moving and the uncertainty surrounding where their future home may be. In addition to other medium-term needs (see below), the urgent support Stonelight needs now is related to moving.
To help them with this arduous task, please urgently consider providing financial donations, volunteer hours (helping with the move) and outreach support to help spread the word about Stonelight Tile and their current need for community support.
In addition to more urgent support requested above, tech companies, museums, educators, history lovers, immigrants, ceramic art collectors, entrepreneurs and San Jose preservationists are encouraged to contact us to discuss partnership possibilities. Stonelight Tile is interested, for example, in developing group classes and other learning activities ideal for corporations and community groups. We would love to talk with you about bringing these ideas to life!
The documentary video, the website and gofundme fundraising campaign were initiated by concerned neighbors and Friends of Stonelight Tile. If you are a caring friend or neighbor, please join us. To join or just to learn more, visit stonelighttile...

Great video. They've done an excellent job preserving this history, it's very sad that they keep being forced out.

WIsh I had the money to just buy the place, partnership or whatever, and keep it going!
