Description
This circa 1915 postcard shows the St. Joseph's Academy at Eighth and G streets. The pictured structure - facing G Street - held the school's classrooms, refectories, chapel, dining room, sleeping rooms and kitchen. The Sisters of Mercy had occupied the area since 1857, when they opened up a convent. The school was started in 1861, and operated for next 105 years, only to close in 1966. The entire block was razed a few years later to make way for a parking lot for the Sacramento County Superior Court.
