Description
What was once the palatial home of railroad mogul Charles Crocker became the company hospital of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1900. By 1906, three-story-and-basement structure could accommodate up to 55 patients and was touted as a refreshing alternative to other hospitals with “its home-like character,” said the January 27, 1906, "Sacramento Union."
