Title: McCarthy Album 05, Photograph 011
Description: Caption: "Old State Capitol, Benicia," c. 1906. California's State Capitol moved several times in the first decade of statehood. This photograph shows the third building to serve as the Capitol building, in Benicia. The California State Legislature occupied the building from 1853-1854, until lack of accommodations for the legislators prompted the moving of the Capitol to Sacramento, in February 1854.
Contributor: Audrey Fullerton-Samora of Sacramento, great niece of William and Grace McCarthy, donated the William M. McCarthy Photograph Collection to the California State Archives in 1996.
