Book excerpt: In the field of public history today, it is generally argued that sites such as historic house museums should interpret the history of "others" (i.e. servants, slaves, workers) as well as that of famous residents, so as to provide visitors with a more complete and accurate history. California's Governor's Mansion currently operates as a State Historic Park. Interpretive programming consists of guided tours, outreach programs and holiday events. All programming focuses predominantly on the gubernatorial families who resided in the home, and on the large collection of original artifacts extant within the Mansion. There is at present no regular or comprehensive interpretation of the servants and working culture of the Governor's Mansion. This thesis project, through creation of historical profiles of five Governor's Mansion servants, provides material with which to incorporate servant history into the Mansion's interpretive programming, thereby providing visitors with a more complete history of the site. Sources used to develop the profiles included the oral history and the secondary and primary document collections of the Governor's Mansion State Historic Park. Equally important were the resources and collections of the California State Library, the Sacramento County Recorder's Office, the Sacramento Room of the Sacramento County Public Library, the United States Census Bureau, and the library of California State University Sacramento. Additionally, interviews were conducted with staff at the Governor0́9s Mansion, historic house museum professionals, members of the greater Sacramento community, and with some of the descendants of the servants being profiled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction on the California State Capitol began during the Civil War using stone, brick, and iron, showing confidence in the future. The capitol building showed that California had come a long way from the days of its transient, chaotic roots, born of the Gold Rush. Once the capitol was located in Sacramento in 1854, there was still no guarantee that the city would remain its permanent home. When it was completed in 1873, it was the largest structure of its day west of the Mississippi River. Its presence has continued to not only dominate the Sacramento landscape for a century and a half but has also come to shape the very outlook and future of Sacramento and of California itself. The state capitol and its majestic dome have become the iconic symbol of the city.

This book was released on 2006-06-21 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of gold launched an unprecedented rush of humanity to Californias Sierra foothills. Many of those miners and minerals flowed as naturally as the waterways into a settlement that grew where the American and Sacramento Rivers meet. The Sacramento River, the main traffic artery between the mines and San Francisco Bay, was soon flanked by a burgeoning Embarcadero and commercial district that became Sacramento City in 1849. Paddlewheel riverboats, like the New World, carried goods, passengers, and great wealth. Besting all jealous rivals, Sacramento became the state capital, and a wealthy merchants residence was transformed into the governors mansion. Today downtown and Old Sacramento, a 28-acre state historic district, are thriving, graced by such treasures as the restored State Capitol Building, the art deco Tower Bridge, and scores of historic structures and attractions like the Leland Stanford Mansion and the California State Railroad Museum.
Download or read book The California House written by Kathryn Masson and published by Random House Digital, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aura and romance of Old California lives on in this treasury of inviting homes. The California House presents the magic of the "golden state," that land of infinite promise and dreams, the most tangible expression of which can be found in the homes built by early California dreamers. Here domestic visions of tranquility and repose were inventively realized—in stucco or stone, wood and wrought iron, plaster, and glass and tile. Spanish Colonial Revival–style homes with elaborate wrought-iron window grilles, romantic, shadowy interiors, and lush courtyard gardens stand beside other particularly Californian architectural wonders such as the San Francisco Victorian Painted Lady, the Monterey Colonial, Eurekan Queen Anne, and the homey California Arts & Crafts. Including houses designed by luminaries George Washington Smith, Stanford White, Greene & Greene, and Reginald Johnson, this book will fascinate both the architecture aficionado and interior design enthusiasts, as well as the everyday lover of homes. Including, but going beyond, the much-adored Spanish style (in its many manifestations) and Mission Revival, the book features as well the Victorian of San Francisco's Painted Lady and Eureka's Queen Anne, Monterey Colonial, California Arts & Crafts, French Chateau, classic Colonial farm house, and more. All new color photography of 25 houses in California ranging in style from Spanish Colonial Revival, Mission, Victorian, Queen Anne, California Arts & Crafts, Monterey, French Chateau, Colonial Farm House.
