Description
This circa 1940 photograph reveals the southern face of the Ochsner Building and a few of its first floor business tenants. Resting at the corner of Seventh and K Streets, the building’s first three stories were built in 1904, while two more stories were added in 1922. Its architect was the Sacramento-based Rudolph Herold, who also designed the city’s Masonic Temple on Eleventh and J and Southside Park at Eighth and S. Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Ochsner Building’s units have served both as office space and residences. The building’s namesake was native-Swiss David Ochsner, a cooper who came to Sacramento 1864, amassing great fortune manufacturing tanks and casks for businesses from California to Utah.
