Description
This 1940 photograph captures the northeast corner of Eighth and K Streets. The upper floors of the structure were occupied by the 200-room Hotel Clunie at 805 K Street. It was built in 1917 and then renovated in 1929 for 70,000 dollars by hotel owner and future restaurateur, Edwin Bedell. Eagleson and Company at 801 K Street held the southwest corner of the building. The men’s clothier was founded in Sacramento in 1867 by the Irish-immigrant Eagleson brothers, Robert, John and Frank. The Hale Brothers’ department store, at 825 K Street, provided an Eighth Street entrance to its store, most of which occupied the southeastern block of Ninth and K Streets. The landmark business was founded by Marshall Hale in 1880. In the lower-left corner of the photograph is the entrance to the Christian Science Reading Room at 1017 Eighth Street.
