Description
Taken on January 12, 1941, this photograph shows the Sacramento Abstract and Title Company at its recently constructed 919 Eighth Street location. The company was founded in 1900 by S. Edgar Alderman, and stood as a steadying presence in the Sacramento real estate market in the early part of the twentieth-century, settling property disputes and keeping titles clear. The pictured structure, measuring some 4,800 square feet in size, was built in 1940 for a staff of over twenty. It was also fit with a 20 by 40 foot fireproof vault for record storage.
