Notes
  • Significance: The Adams & Co. Building, Express and Banking House, built in 1853, was the center of a compact group of fire-proof brick structures in Sacramento, California's old "West End." This was Sacramento City's business center during the "Golden Age" of the pioneer period after the fire of November 2, 1852. The area, located in the block facing Second Street between J and K Streets, superseded the ephemeral center of activity along Front Street facing the river. It was this business area that attracted outstanding pioneer representatives of business, finance, communications and transportation. The Adams & Co. Building was the first express and banking house to represent a large eastern firm on the Pacific Coast and for almost three decades, 1853 to 1883, was the center of pioneer communications and transportation.
