Description
This 1960 photograph shows several businesses on the south side of J Street, between Sixth and Seventh streets. They include, right to left, the Ramona Garage at 606 J St., the abandoned Crystal Palace pottery, the Argentina Tavern at 610 J St., the Rancho Grande Restaurant at 612 J St., and the Capital Glass Company at 614 J St. The Argentina was opened after World War II by Spaniard Alvino Casares and Sacramento native and first-generation Italian-American Carlo Dallosta. Prior to taking on the Argentina, Dallosta served in the Pacific Theater. He graduated from the University of Southern California with a teaching degree that led him into a sustained career in teaching. Prior to the Argentina, Casares was operating the Espanol Cafe on 917 Sixth St.
