History

The original market building was designed by E.C. Hemmings. In 1912, the market decided to remodel the north half of the lot and constructed the 4 and half story building with apartments. [2] This work was designed by architects Seadler and Hoen. [2] The two buildings had differing designs, but remained the same height. [2] The market closed in 1931 and the building was remodeled by former State Architect George Sellon, a prolific Sacramento architect, which shortened the 1912 remodeled building to 2 and half stories. [2] He also successfully utilized Streamline Moderne motifs to unify the two buildings into an attractive combined image. [2]

In 1933, the women's clothing store Bon Marche housed the ground floor. [3] Ransohoff's department store purchased the building in 1956 and operated there until 1990. [3] It has since been used as a supper club, a brewery, and an art gallery. [3] In 2003, the apartments were renovated to accommodate office space. [3]
