Elks Tower, Italian Renaissance building in Sacramento, California, United States

The Elks Tower is a fourteen-story building on 11th Street showcasing Italian Renaissance architecture with soaring ceilings, chandeliers, and natural wood flooring throughout. Inside, a grand ballroom provides space for events and features mezzanine-level balconies with elevator access.

The Elks Temple was built of brick and steel to a height of 226 feet at the northeast corner of 11th and J Street, and was dedicated as the home of Sacramento Elks Lodge No. 6 on June 22, 1926. At the time of its construction it housed the Elks, about 100 hotel rooms and a storefront. In 1968 the thirteenth floor became home to a newly created 98.5 FM radio station, today's KRXQ.

The building served as a gathering place for the Elks Lodge No. 6, a social organization that met here for events and communal activities. The rooms still reflect this social purpose, with spaces designed to encourage gathering and conversation.

The Elks Tower is a bookable event venue, so access to the ballroom and upper floors depends on the event being held there. The building stands at 921 11th Street, on the northeast corner of 11th and J Street, in downtown Sacramento. Check with the venue before visiting, since it is not a public museum.

In 1968 the thirteenth floor became home to a newly created 98.5 FM radio station, today's KRXQ, and the tower once carried its transmitting antenna. The building was dedicated on June 22, 1926, as the home of Sacramento Elks Lodge No. 6.
