Description
As shown in this circa 1900 postcard, the second Sacramento County Courthouse built on the northwest corner of Seventh and I streets, was 80-feet wide, 120-feet deep and measured 61-feet from street to rooftop. The cost for the multi-purpose structure ran about 240,000 dollars, but it was money well-spent for the Courthouse as the California State Capitol from November of 1854 until the current Capitol Building opened in 1869. During that time the building housed the county prison, a large senate chamber, assembly room, offices for the state treasurer and controller and nine rooms for other staff and employees.
