BUILT IN THE PAST. DESIGNING THE FUTURE.
The California Fruit Building was considered Sacramento’s first true high-rise building standing at 10 stories high. Based in San Francisco, it is believed that Charles Kaiser had partnered with Hemming’s and his draftsmen due to their knowledge of Sacramento to complete the building. Following the World War I, Kaiser changed his surname to avoid the stigmatism of being German. He was referenced as both Kaiser and Sumner.
The original drawings were found within the Nacht & Lewis archives due to E.C. Hemmings association with Charles Kaiser.
The project is also known as Store & Office Building For The Merchants Investment Bank.
