Description
Taken in 1960, this photograph shows several storefronts, all on the north side of K Street. They include: Jewel Craft Loans at 515 K Street, the Walnut Café and Tavern at 517 K Street, the Owl Cigar Store at 519 K Street, the Palace Hotel at 519-and-a-half K Street, the Bay Hotel at 521-and-a-half K Street, and Mannie Greenberg Men's Clothing at 521 K Street. The Walnut was operated by a native of the Tuscan town of Capannori, Dominic “Nick” Barsetti. He immigrated to the United States when he was 16, coming to Sacramento in 1936. Over the next 32 years he would operate the Walnut until redevelopment efforts eclipsed his business, forcing him into retirement in 1962. He died in 1971.
