​Angela Bernal is assigned 530 acres of the Rancho del Valle de San Jose, including Plot 42- the land that will include 309 Neal Street. Angela and her husband Joshua Neal have two daughters, Maria and Josefa Neal.
​
​Josefa ”Leta” Neal marries Thomas William Harris. They have two sons, Neal and Myron Harris. A later map indicates that Josefa owns Plot 42, but her sister Maria will be included on the future deed.

​The Queen Anne cottage at 309 Neal Street is built in approximately 1900.​

​Town Trustee Charles Schween purchases the property from Josefa Neal Harris and Maria Neal Morris.

​​The Schween family moves out. It is unknown who, if anyone, occupies the residence from 1911-1929.

George Spencer Barry purchases the property from Charles Schween and his wife Mary Schween. Barry and his wife Mildred move in briefly.

​Apparently Barry leases out the property, and in December the Pleasanton Hospital opens. There are indications the hospital operated less than a year.

​In February Frank Maggioli and his son-in-law George West, Jr. purchase the property from Mildred and G. Spencer Barry. George, Wanda, and Jean West (age 2), and Frank and Alice Maggioli move into the house.

​In March, George West Jr.’s Star Taxi and Transfer Service relocates to 309 Neal Street, which includes a large barn garage.

​George Jr. and Wanda West acquire parcel two –the back portion of 309 Neal Street– from Myron and Neal Harris, Josefa’s sons.

​Jean West Jones inherits the property after Wanda’s passing in 1987.

​After 83 years in the possession of the Maggioli-West-Jones family, the residence at 309 Neal Street is sold  after Jean's death in 2015.
