Description
This 1897 photograph provides a northwesterly view of downtown Sacramento from the Capitol dome. Running horizontally at the bottom of the picture is Tenth Street between L and M Streets. The near steeple to the left of the photograph is that of the First Baptist Church at Ninth and M Streets. The far steeple belongs to the First Methodist Episcopal Church at Sixth Street, between K and L Streets. In the upper, right hand corner of the picture is what would be the city’s first Federal Building, the Post Office at Seventh and K Streets. It was known as the “Pink Post Office” because of its red sandstone exterior, extracted from Ione, California.
