Episode Details

El Dorado Elementary School in East Sacramento just earned a historic win—officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1921 and still standing over a century later, this Spanish Revival gem has served as a school, adult center, and community hub. Now slated for sale after closing in 2025, locals like alum Shannon Ross are rallying to preserve it—not as a museum, but as affordable housing or a community center. While not legally binding, city officials backed the designation, seeing it as a way to honor its legacy while shaping its future. The school board is also exploring ways to influence who buys it and how it’s reused, turning a potential teardown into a hopeful new chapter.
