PIONEER HALL AND LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
At a meeting of Sacramento Pioneers held on the i8th day of January, 1868, at their rooms, it was unanimously resolved to proceed to the election of five Directors for the purpose of incorporating the Hall and Library Association. The election resulted in the choice of I. N. Hoag, N. L. Drew, James McClatchy, G. J. Phelan, and N. D. Goodell, with a capital stock of ten thousand dollars, divided into four hundred shares, at twenty five dollars per share to be held only by the society and individual mem- bers thereof.
The association was incorporated on the 21st day of January, 1868, for the purpose of erecting a hail, to be dedicated to the uses and purposes of the Sacramento Society of California Pioneers.
On the 29th day of June, 1868, the association commenced the erection of a building upon a site selected for that purpose on the east side of Seventh Street, between J and K Streets, under the super- intendence of N. D. Goodell, architect, and was completed in November of the same year, at a cost of fourteen thousand dollars, including lot. The society held at that date forty-six shares of its capi- tal stock. On the 17th of June, 1871, the society had increased its stock to two hundred shares; and
APPENDIX.
on the loth day of June, 1876, to two hundred and ninety-six shares.
On April 13th, 1877, the remaining forty-two shares were purchased by the society, and the Hall and Library Association conveyed to the society, by deed, all its interest in the property, real and personal.
Having accomplished the purpose for which it was organized, and having transferred all of its assets to the main society, it was, on the 18th day of June, 1877, disincorporated.
On August 28th; 1876, the society made further .additions to its property by the purchase of the eleven feet adjoining on the south, together with the building thereon, giving the property a total frontage on Seventh Street of thirty-seven feet by eighty feet deep.
The main building, which is a two-story structure, contains a spacious basement for the incidental uses of the society. The first story is divided into rooms for offices and library room. The second story contains the main hall and ante-rooms.
The buildings produce, in rents, about thirteen hundred dollars per annum.
