About this postcard

Looking east along K Street from Fourth Street, a domed corner commercial block dominates the right foreground, with storefronts and utility poles receding down the block. A horse-drawn wagon stands at the curb, an ordinary sight on a downtown street of the period. K Street was Sacramento's principal commercial thoroughfare in the early 20th century, lined with banks, shops, and office buildings near the downtown core. The view records the scale and density of that retail district.
