Poor House Bistro – Moving Day 

Kelly Bros. House Movers moved the Victorian Era home from Autumn St to the Little Italy neighborhood on West St John St next to Henry’s Hi-Life.
The business will be renamed Famiglia Meduri Poor House Bistro.

The home has been in the Meduri’s family since the 1950s. It was originally a sorority house located on 11th street in downtown San Jose.

“Jay grew passionate about the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Jay discovered the variety of New Orleans cuisine and began his education in food and cooking. Here he learned and developed recipes that he would eventually serve at the Poor House Bistro.” (website)

St. Gabriel’s Celestial Brass Band entertained spectators as the home journeyed to its new location.

Benjamin from Moki Smith amazed the crowds with fantastic tree-cutting skills.

The land around Autumn St. is being redeveloped into the Google “Downtown West” project.

Poor House Bistro will remain open at the Autumn street location with a temporary structure and patio until the renovation is complete at the new site.
