Exploring the History of Wright & Kimbrough's Bungalow Row on Q Street |
|
We are a family of four living on the corner of Historic Bungalow Row in Sacramento, California. Our home is one of a series of homes built and sold by the firm Wright & Kimbrough on Q street, between and extending to 25th and 26th streets, in Sacramento. This is a spot for us to put all of the interesting things we discover about our little neighborhood's past. It's also a place for us to celebrate the improvements we make and the life that we live in the house today. Thanks for visiting!
