It was moved in 1979 from 421 Tenth Street to the corner of Seventh and E Streets, three blocks away.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the duplex is locally significant in architecture as a good representative of simple vernacular buildings in 1860s Sacramento. It reflects New England-style utilitarian building traditions brought to California between the Gold Rush and the transcontinental railroad. Its long axis parallel to the street and shed-roofed rear extensions were rare locally, and it is now one of the last examples of its type in the city.","narrative":"Built in 1869 by Anton Wagner as a rental duplex behind his Pacific Cash Store, this two-story clapboard building in Sacramento's Alkali Flat neighborhood housed railroad workers from the nearby Southern Pacific complex. Later it served as a grocery warehouse, a corner store after a 1910 raising, and a print shop. The structure measures twenty-six by thirty-two feet and has a gable roof parallel to the street, symmetrical mirror-image units, and one-story rear extensions. In 1979 it was moved three blocks to Seventh and E Streets to escape a creamery expansion, and the 1910 store level was left behind. Restoration to its 1869 appearance was under way for law offices. It is considered locally significant as a rare surviving example of simple vernacular architecture from the 1860s, a building type that was once common in the city but has largely disappeared.","period_of_significance":"1869","architect_builder":"none known (built for Anton Wagner)","architectural_style":"Vernacular, derived from early 19th century New England utilitarian buildings","criteria":[],"status_note":"Altered and moved in 1979; in fair condition and being restored to its 1869 appearance for use as a law office.
