New Helvetia

Although the drawings for the project display a Charles Dean title block, it is not known at this time the extent of each individuals design involvement of the project.

New Helvetia has recently been nominated by Historic Environment Consultants for historic preservation due to its architectural and cultural significance to Sacramento history.
