Description
This 1960 photograph shows a gaggle of businesses on the south side of K Street, between Fifth and Sixth streets. The following businesses are visible: the Valley Hotel at 506 1/2 K St., People’s Clothing Store at 506 K St., the Hotel Coloma at 508 K St.; the Metropolitan Department Store at 510 and 512 K St., and the Good Wear Store Dry Goods at 516 K St. Due to wholesale redevelopment, the Metropolitan relocated to Carmichael in 1960. The 144-room, five-story Hotel Coloma had been at the spot since 1912, occupying a lot of 60 by 160 feet. It was felled during redevelopment efforts in the 1960s.
