The San Jose electric light tower, also known as Owen's Electric Tower after its creator and chief booster, was constructed in 1881 at an intersection in downtown San Jose, California, as a "high light" or moonlight tower to light the city using arc lights. A pioneer use of electricity for municipal lighting, it was later strung with incandescent bulbs and was destroyed in a storm in December 1915. A half-size replica stands at History Park at Kelley Park.

  • La Tour électrique de San Jose était une tour de fer d'une hauteur de 72 mètres construite en 1881 pour illuminer le centre de San José. Mais son éclairage se révéla insuffisant pour éclairer de façon satisfaisante les environs, et la tour se transforma en monument. Le 3 décembre 1915, la tour fut détruite par une tempête.Une légende affirme que Gustave Eiffel a visité cette tour avant d'imaginer la Tour Eiffel. (fr)
