Description
This circa 1959 postcard presents an early view of the Sacramento Inn at 1401 Arden Way. In 1959 there were 35 entries under 'Motels and Auto Courts' in the Sacramento City Directory while the Sacramento Suburban Directory listed 93 similar businesses outside the city limits, an indicator of where visitors were heading. The Sacramento Inn was the biggest in what was then known as the Town and Country area. With a drive-in theater across the highway, a professional playhouse on one side and the soon-to-be-developed Arden Fair Shopping Center on the other side, the Sacramento Inn was a frequent venue for conventions and business conferences.
