Description
This circa 1920 postcard provides a view, as seen from the south, of Sutter's Fort at Twenty-Seventh and L streets. Perhaps the compound's most defining days came during the California Gold Rush of 1848 to 1855 when, with 10 to 12 stores in operation within the fort, merchants -- in an effort to "mine the miners" -- payed nearly 100 dollars a month for their use.
