Description
Shown is a sales pamphlet created in circa 1958 by the Jones, Brand, and Hullin Development Company, advertising the sale of new residential lots in the Sierra Oaks neighborhood of Sacramento County. The new lot was located between Mills Road, Latham Drive, and Sierra Oaks Boulevard.
The Sierra Oaks neighborhood of Sacramento was first developed in 1929 with the goal to create "country living" close to the city. A prominent land planner from St. Louis was hired to create a prestigious setting. Unique building restrictions were drafted to preserve the character of the area, including 50 foot setbacks and provisions that all homes be built 40 feet apart. Most of the early homes were built in the Normandy style. Many of Sacramento's prominent families left their homes in the city to settle in Sierra Oaks.
