Description
This circa 1963 photograph provides a glimpse of both the windows of Breuner’s will-call department at 1119 through 1131 Sixth St. and Sacramento’s new federal building at Sixth Street and Capitol Avenue. The eight-floor federal building was completed in late 1962 and was home to 30 different federal agencies. Intended to bring needed relief to an overcrowded federal facility at Ninth and I streets, the new building was built at a cost of $6.25 million. It would eventually be named in honor of John E. Moss, a longtime resident of Sacramento, U.S. Congressman from 1953 to 1978, and father of the watershed Freedom of Information Act.
