This 1953 airborne photograph shows the 17-acre Hotel El Rancho Resort, located at 1075 West Capitol Avenue in West Sacramento, California. Built in 1932 by millionaire Thomas Hull, the El Rancho was visited by the likes of Clark Gable, Robert Taylor, Ginger Rogers and Rosalind Russell. It was purchased by Robert Stahl in 1978 and put through a massive $10 million renovation. Additions included a 1.2-mile jogging trail, a solar-heated swimming pool, seven tennis courts, six racquetball courts, a restaurant, lounge and convention center.
