Description and history

The building was originally built in 1861 by Leland Stanford and he used one of the rooms as his office. [2] [3] It was also a part of the tunnel system as a part of the raised level of buildings in Sacramento. Replete with 25 office suites in the early 1990s, the edifice was still in use while neighboring buildings had all been demolished. [3] After this point, the building itself was the subject of many fires during its years of vacancy. [4] While plans were considered to incorporate the facade of the old building with new construction planned at its site, one last fire seriously damaged it in 2003 and it was subsequently demolished. [4] [5]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 20, 1978. [1]

The Senator Hotel (1924–1979) was a nine-story, 400-room Italian Renaissance-style hotel in Sacramento, California located at 12th and L streets across from the California State Capitol building that served as a nexus of California political and social activity for more than 50 years. Opened in 1924, the Senator Hotel was where Arthur Samish, one of the most influential and powerful individual lobbyists in the history of California, maintained a suite during the 1930s and 1940s. President Gerald Ford spent the night at the Senator Hotel before the September 5, 1975, assassination attempt on him by cultist Manson family disciple Squeaky Fromme.

The structure was renovated and then reopened in 1983 as an office building under the name Senator Hotel Office Building, giving lobbyists short-walking-distance access to California's state politicians.
