Sacramento Bank Building
historic place
The Sacramento Bank Building, located in Sacramento, California, was erected in 1914. This one-story, triangular-shaped structure was designed in the Neo-Classical style by architects James Seadler and Gideon Holt. It served as a commercial bank branch for the Sacramento Bank in the Oak Park neighborhood. The building was constructed with a reinforced concrete frame and an exterior of cement plaster. Its arched doorway features medallions commemorating the Sacramento Bank's founding in 1867 and the branch's opening in 1914. Over the years, the building underwent significant changes. In 1947, a large copper dome was removed, and the interior was stripped of its original detailing. The building was also extended to the rear. Despite these alterations, it remains an example of neoclassical architecture in Sacramento. The Sacramento Bank Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1982. It is historically significant for its architectural style and its role in the commercial development of the Oak Park neighborhood.
