Booth Company was opened by lawyer Newton Booth as a wholesale grocery store and general store. Booth had a platform built on the roof of the building from which his employees could signal ships coming into the Port of Sacramento, so he could get ahead of his competitors in buying goods. A historical plaque was placed in front of the Booth Company by the Native Sons of the Golden West. Read more on Wikipedia
