1916 The HOJ was constructed in 1916, Designed by Architects SHEA & LOFQUIST, HOJ is a shinning example of Beaux Arts Classilism/ NEO -Classilism in Sacramento. Originally constructed for the health department, an emergency hospital and bacteriological laboratory (1st floor); Police court (2nd floor); a 100 person jail; and a shooting gallery on the rooftop 1999 Due to its degree of integrity of design, and its strong sense of time and place, HOJ was added to the national registry of historic places The new four-story addition was conceived as an elegant exposed steel frame and glass structure to compliment the original massive brick and terra-cotta building. The contrast of glass expanses and steel against the older masonry clearly expresses the individuality of each structure, while the new steel beams that support the glass curtain wall continue the lines of adjacent terracotta moldings, in an appropriate reference to the historic building. Smooth steel-troweled cement plaster with large punched openings, exposed steel sections and stainless steel drips characterize the new east facade. As new and old elements confront each other, a deep recess articulates the new structure and accommodates a required seismic joint. The Hall of Justice was built in 1916 by the City of Sacramento to house a variety of City agencies including the Police Department. The Police Department headquarters remained at HoJ until 1999 when the department out grew the building and relocated to a new facility on nearby Richards Blvd. After being sold by the City in 1999, HoJ was comprehensively renovated and a 15,000 SF glass and steel wing was constructed and added to the historic structure. The modernization and expansion project of HoJ received a 2002 Design Award from the California Preservation Foundation for excellence in design, adaptive reuse and historic preservation.
