Description: Pictured in the 1950s is a stretch of Sixth Street, between I and J Streets. Visible businesses include the Civic Barber Shop at 916 Sixth Street, the Victory Rooms at 918 Sixth Street, and Audrey's Second Hand Store at 920 Sixth Street. Luther Davis opened the Civic Barber Shop in 1955 and operated it until redevelopment forced him to relocate. The Sacramento Redevelopment Agency demolished these buildings as part of midcentury "urban renewal" programs.
