Description
This circa 1915 postcard shows the Governor's Mansion resting on the southwest corner of Sixteenth and H streets. Built in 1877 for Albert and Clemenza Gallatin, it housed California's first family from 1903 to 1974. A few years after this card was printed, in December 1917, a section of the home was dynamited by what was believed to be - especially in the eyes of Sacramento Police Chief Ira Conran - a cell of the Industrial Workers of the World or "Wobblies."
