Title	The Hub Hotel and Tavern
Date	1957
Description	Taken in 1957, this photograph shows the weathered facades of the Hub Hotel and Tavern at 224 J Street and the Lincoln Room at 226 J Street. The building housing the Hub was erected by wholesale merchant and Kentuckian Edward P. Figg after the November 1852 fire, one that destroyed 70 percent of the central city. The Lincoln Rooms building was constructed – also after the 1852 fire – by native-New York banker O.D. Mills. Established in October 1849, Mills’ bank was the state’s first banking and exchange operation. A man stands against one of the buildings, propped up by crutches, while a sign hangs detailing, through text and a map, the redevelopment of Sacramento’s urban core.
