OTHER TIDBITS: Charles worked with his brother Frank, who was also responsible for the construction of the neighboring Empire Building! The cupola of Ebner’s Hotel was a useful landmark for folks heading to Sacramento, letting them know they were almost there! The hotel and its basement liquor business were well respected until the railroad came through in 1870, turning Old Sacramento into a slum! Ebner’s Hotel came down in 2003, but it has since been rebuilt as closely as possible to the original!
