"The Tilden-Laine House, last of the Italianate Victorian homes that once lined Elizabeth Street. It stands lonely on this desert street, but beautifuly preserved History: Susan Ortley Tilden's house (970 Elizabeth Street, Alviso) is the grandest reminder of the town's prosperous past. The Italianate-Eastlake house was built in 1887 by the wife of David Tilden, one of the town's most prosperous merchants and justice of the peace. Elizabeth Street was once lined with many Victorian homes, but the Tilden-Laine house is the only one that still stands. The Laine family operated the Laine General Store next door until 1912."
