House built in 1907 in Midtown Sacramento designated as a historic landmark

SACRAMENTO – Midtown Sacramento has a new historic landmark.

On Wednesday, the City of Sacramento announced that the house at 2025 P Street has been added to the city’s Register of Historic and Cultural Resources.

Built in 1907, the house is not only a well-preserved example of Colonial Revival architecture, but was also the home of the well-known photographer Levi Vandercook.

“The property owner’s designation of this building as a landmark helps recognize and preserve another piece of Sacramento’s unique history,” said the city’s deputy planner, Henry Feuss, in a statement.

Vandercook’s photographs are an important visual document of Sacramento and Northern California at the turn of the century.

On P Street alone, numerous buildings have been registered as historical landmarks.

Like many of Sacramento’s historic homes, the Vandercook House was converted into a commercial building and currently houses a midwifery clinic.
