Sacramento honors Ronald Reagan's historic home with landmark designation

In Sacramento, California, a Tudor Revival-style residence that has housed several notable figures was officially designated as a historic landmark by the Sacramento City Council. This home, which has connections to prominent Californians, including Ronald and Nancy Reagan, was built by a company involved in significant local projects such as the Tower Bridge and the Shasta Dam. After its construction, the residence was acquired by Dain Domich, a realtor and future city council member, following the death of its builder, Pollock, in 1950. The Reagans were leased the home in 1967 during Reagan's tenure as California’s governor, living there through two terms before ultimately purchasing it. The current owners of the home are Art and Susan Savage, who are known for their contributions to Sacramento's River Cats baseball team after moving the franchise to the city in 1999. The designation as a historic landmark is a significant acknowledgment of the home’s historical relevance and the roles it has played in California's political landscape. The City Council's vote last week underscores the importance of preserving such landmarks to honor and remember the legacies of past leaders and their connections to the community.
