Overview

In 1868, the Toll's Corner Hotel became known as the Capital Hotel, and operated at the corner of K and 7th Streets in Sacramento, CA. Traver and Day were the proprietors of the new Capital Hotel. (See Capital Hotel advertisement, Sacramento Daily Union, vol. 35, no. 5372, 06/15/1868, p. 4.) The Capital Hotel stood nearby to the Golden Eagle Hotel operating in 1868 at the same corner. John Oschwald also rented sample rooms out in the basement of the Masonic Building, then new in 1868, at the corner of K and 6th Streets.

Blessing and Guthrie operated the Capital Hotel in 1893. (See "Capital Hotel Ad," Sacramento Daily Union, 09/23/1893, p. 3.)

Building Notes

By 1893, the Capital Hotel stood four stories tall, with a mansard roof topping it. Its first floor had a tall covered walkway wrapping around on two sides. Windows were ribbons of Romanesque openings. A turret stood above the intersection of K and 7th Streets.
