Frommer.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is a notable example of its type and period, set apart by exceptional terra cotta detailing and a richly ornamented metal cornice. Its ram's heads are described as unique among architectural ornamentation in Sacramento. It is one of the few early 20th century commercial buildings downtown that retains much of its original character, despite ground floor alterations.","narrative":"Built in 1911-12 for B. Frommer, this four-story brick building on the southwest corner of 11th and K Streets in downtown Sacramento originally combined ground-floor commercial space with hotel rooms above. Its design mixes Renaissance Revival elements, such as a frieze, dentil course and bracketed cornice, with proportions and fenestration reminiscent of Chicago School commercial buildings. The ornament is its main distinction: terra cotta window surrounds, a swirl-patterned fascia, floral swags and ram's heads at the upper corners, topped by an elaborate metal cornice. The ram's heads are described as unique in the city. In 1927 the hotel entrance moved from K Street to 11th Street, and the large showroom was later divided into smaller shops and remodeled several times. A planned rehabilitation aimed to restore the 1927 storefront appearance. The building was listed because it remains one of few early twentieth-century commercial buildings downtown that keeps much of its original character.","period_of_significance":"1911-12","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Eclectic, drawing on Renaissance Revival and Chicago School sources; two-part vertical composition","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as occupied and in good condition.
