Description
A street scene with the Post Office building at 7th and K st in the background. Built in 1894 on the former site of St. Rose's Catholic Church and modified in 1900, this pink stone building served as a West End post office for over six decades. In September of 1965, the city redevelopment board requisitioned the funds to buy the building from the federal government with the intention of including it in an ongoing campaign of slum clearance undertaken to prepare for the K Street Mall. The city of Sacramento demolished this building in the late 1960s. In the foreground, a streetcar run by Pacific Gas and Electric Company is visible, as are multiple automobiles and pedestrians.
