Original Sacramento Bee Building
The Sacramento Bee was founded in 1857, its first issue was dated February 3, 1857. Its early home was in this two-story brick building on the west side of Third Street.
Like the Western Hotel,
the D.O. Mills Bank,
and the Overton Building,
the original Sacramento Bee Building was apparently buried by Interstate Highway 5 without commemoration.
If you know of a plaque or other reminder of the original Sacramento Bee Building, please
