Merrium Apartments

Among the many historic drawings we found in our archives were these drawings form the Merrium apartments. The 41 unit apartment building was located at 1017 14th street on South East alley corner between J and K Streets in downtown Sacramento. Its owner being C.H. Dunn. The apartments were razed to make way for the Sacramento Convention Center.

Note: Clarence Cuff along with his partner at the time Maury Diggs, are the architects of this building. I assume the known friendship and association between Cuff and Hemmings may be why our firm is in possession of the original drawings for this structure. All three having worked in the office of California State Architect George Sellon who was Hemmings partner at the time.
