Description
This 1953 postcard shows the newly-dedicated California Western Insurance Building at 2020 L Street. The five story structure was viewed to be an exemplum of "efficiency for today and flexibility for tomorrow" with its 350-ton air conditioning system and accoustically tiled ceilings. Known to be "Sacramento's Own" life insurance company, California Western was founded in the Capital City in 1910.
