All SP documents I have seen designate the structure at the "San Jose Roundhouse" whereas railfan literature will often interchange both "Lenzen Avenue" and "San Jose".

Since 1864, there were at least five roundhouses located within San Jose (SF&SJ RR, SPRR(2), SPCRR, WPRR). Therefore to be acurate, the formal designation should be "Southern Pacific Railroad's San Jose Roundhouse at Lenzen Avenue". :-)
