Mexican Community Center Hall

Leonard Starks was commissioned in 1948 to design the Mexican Center Hall in the South Side Park neighborhood of Sacramento. The building is done in the Spanish Mission style Mr. Starks was so prominently known for. The project features a terracotta tile roof to compliment the light tan building.

The memorial statue of a Hispanic-American veteran was present in the court yard. Once the center was sold the memorial statue was moved to the Capitol Mall between 10th and L street on the grounds of the California State Transportation Agency (915 Capitol Mall).

This campus is now associated with the Tenrikyo Churches and Fellowships in the America and Canada Diocese named Tenrikyo High Sacramento Church.
