Description
This 1865 photograph offers a view down J Street, showing, to the right, both the Metropolitan Baths and B.F. Hastings and Company. Hastings was a long standing bank in Sacramento and held distinction as the western terminus of the Pony Express which ran from 1860 to 1861. Hastings operated until November of 1871, when it failed. The Metropolitan was one of many bath houses in Sacramento. A much earlier Capital City bath house was the Eureka, which sat on Second Street, between I and J Streets furnishing a ""splendid bar and everything in the way of refreshments,"" said the June 15, 1854, ""Daily Democratic State Journal.""
