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 Street, the abandoned Crystal Palace pottery, the Argentina Tavern at 610 J Street, the Rancho Grande Restaurant at 612 J Street, and the Capital Glass Company at 614 J Street. The Argentina was opened after the Second World War by Spaniard Alvino Casares and Sacramento native and first generation Italian American Carlo Dallosta. Prior to taking on the Argentina, Dallosta was serving in the Pacific Theater. He also 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 Street.
