Descrição

5820 South Land Park Drive in South Land Park Hills Shopping Center. On South Land Park Drive near 35th Ave, Sacramento. Point of Interest in 2011 Sacramento Mid-Century Modern Home Tour Guidebook. What I wrote: "Originally: Jumbo Market Architect: Sooky Lee Construction: John Otto, Inc. Date: 1968 The construction of this market, and adjacent shops located at the southwest corner of South Land Park Drive and 35th Avenue, added 40,000 square feet to South Hills Shopping Center and cost approximately $700,000. Prior to construction, Jumbo leased the former space Safeway had abandoned in the shopping center (see Point of Interest S). Jumbo’s futuristic design included a zig-zag rooﬂ ine with raised plate glass windows to allow natural light into the store. It also included tapered poles atop each zig-zag apex – with the respective letters “J U M B O” for each pole – which was then finished with a round ball. Sooky Lee’s work can be seen throughout Sacramento and includes: Al & Bud’s Platter (now Pancake Circus) at 21st & Broadway, Young’s Fireside Shop (now HOT ITALIAN) at 16th and Q Streets, and most of the buildings at McGeorge School of Law." Rendering from Sacramento Bee: Sunday May 12, 1968 p. C3 via my microfilm research.
