The building itself is set in the midst of a park at least 4-5 city blocks in extent. The property was owned originally by John Sutter, who deeded it to the city for public parks or plazas. At the State Capitol, the past, present and future of California interact with equal force. The building serves as both a museum and the state’s working seat of government.
