Description:

Date Built: 1853

Old Sacramento was so interesting but we could not find all the historical facts that we wanted. We were wondering about What Cheer Hotel but there was no plaque but it is a California Landmark number so we snapped a picture. We were hoping the Internet we give up more information, but all we found was that during 1855, State offices were housed here. That explains some things about our State, but it does make us wonder more.

The What Cheer Hotel was restored by Angello Vitiello Associates, which one of the partners, Joseph Angello took a personal interest in its reconstruction. We could not find out why.



NO. 597 WHAT CHEER HOUSE - The celebrated hotel was constructed on this site in 1853. State offices were located here in 1855.
