Old Sacramento being so near the river, was prone to flooding. When another devastating flood occurred in 1862, thousands of yards of earth was brought in and the entire city was built up one story to prevent it from being flooded out again. So the buildings you see there actually have another floor, now underground. This was accomplished by a retaining walls of brick that were built along the storefronts, then fill dirt was brought in to raise the street level. The wall not only prevented damage to the ground floor level, but also allowed for many of the owners to still use the lower levels. Recently, some of the original street and building storefronts that have sat untouched and hidden away for more than 100 years have been cleared of debris and very limited tours are available to these older subterranean areas. They are not for the claustrophobic as the original street has the retaining wall just a few feet away from the buildings. Just across the street from this building was once another old building, but now is an empty lot that was paved for a parking lot. It is at the original ground level and one can see a section of the old brick retaining wall under the boardwalk.
