Sacramento, CA 95814
Property For Lease

The Hall, Luhrs & Co. Building located at 914 2nd Street is the largest brick building in “Old Sacramento” and one of the most architecturally attractive and unique buildings in the entire Sacramento Region. The Subject Property is a two story, 27,900 square foot building (including 10,000 square foot basement) with wood façade (steel framed), genuine brick exterior over heavy timber frame construction. The building stretches from 2nd Street to the rear Fire House alley and maintains 60 feet of retail street frontage. The design features huge double hung windows on both the first and second floors as well as the front and rear of the structure. The basement, which can be improved for office or retail occupancy, has a full wall of windows facing the rear Firehouse Alley. The property is rich with history and was originally built in the 1840’s as a tin store only to be wiped out in the floods of 1850. In 1856 it was rebuilt and occupied by a Bordello and a Bootblack. When After several major floods it was determined that all of the buildings located in what is now Old Sacramento would be raised to a level above flood line. This was accomplished ¼ inch at a time through a time and labor intensive process. In 1885 the Subject Property became the home of Hall, Luhrs & Co. wholesale grocery store (famous for using rail lines to ship groceries, packed in ice, provided by local area farmers). The lower level of the building has been improved to be used as one of two primary buildings featured in Sacramento’s Underground City tours. Over 20,000 visitors took the Underground Tour last year. The basement is 10,000 square feet has four large windows (currently boarded) facing the rear Firehouse Alley which would certainly provide ample light for at least 50% of the space if it were converted to office or retail use. Even if not used for occupancy the basement space allows for an additional 10,000 square feet of storage space.
