Pony Express Terminal, Commercial building in Sacramento, United States.

The Pony Express Terminal, also known as the B. F. Hastings Bank Building, is a two-story brick building at the southwest corner of 2nd and J Streets in Old Sacramento. It presents four bays to J Street and nine to 2nd Street, with a single-story canopy on square posts across both sidewalks and a metal staircase rising to a second-floor entrance on 2nd Street. It now houses a Wells Fargo history museum.

The first building on the corner of Second and J Streets, Wesley Merritt's grocery store, burned in the fire of 2 November 1852. Benjamin F. Hastings bought the lot on 16 March 1853 and built this bank office in April 1853. The California Supreme Court sat here temporarily from February 1855, moved to the Jansen Building, and returned from December 1859 until 1869. The Pony Express used the building as its western terminus from April 1860 to March 1861.

The building's name comes from Benjamin F. Hastings, who bought the burnt corner lot in March 1853 and opened the Hastings & Company bank there that April. In the 1850s Wells, Fargo & Company and a telegraph firm also kept offices in the building. A Pony Express statue stands a short distance away.

The building stands at the southwest corner of 2nd and J Streets in Old Sacramento State Historic Park. A single-story canopy on square posts covers the sidewalk along both facades, and a metal staircase climbs the middle of the 2nd Street side to a second-floor entrance. The ground floor housed a Wells Fargo history museum until 2020, so check current opening arrangements before visiting.

The building hosted one of the first services that could deliver letters between California and Missouri in about ten days, a remarkably fast connection for its time. This rapid delivery method fundamentally changed how business and news traveled across the continent during that era.
