Big Four Building, Renaissance Revival building in Old Sacramento, United States.
The Big Four Building features three merged historic structures with prominent architectural details, located along the Sacramento River waterfront within the State Historic Park.
From 1862 to 1873, the second floor housed the Central Pacific Railroad Company offices, where executives planned the western section of the first transcontinental railroad.
The building represents the era when Sacramento transformed from a Gold Rush settlement into a major transportation hub through railroad development.
The structure contains multiple entrance points and sits within walking distance of other historical attractions in the Old Sacramento Historic District.
The building merges three separate structures from 1851: the Stanford Building, the Huntington & Hopkins Building, and the Miller Building into one cohesive architectural unit.
