Sequoia Hotel

Through his association as architect for the Sacramento Hotel with George Sellon in 1909, two hotel officials who worked for United Realty Company, Messrs Peltier and Anderson approached Mr. Hemmings in the summer of 1910 to design and build a 5-story moving picture theater and hotel for $75,000. Hemmings was entitled to five percent for his work. Today the building serves as a motel on the upper floors and a restaurant on the first floor.
