Английская Википедия:Elks Tower
Elks Tower is an Italian Renaissance building located at 921 11th Street in Sacramento, California. It stands fourteen stories tall, and is the former home to the transmitting tower for the KRXQ. At the time of its construction, it not only was a home for the Elks, it also had approximately 100 hotel rooms and a storefront.[1]
History

This led to the construction of a new, 226-foot-tall Elks Temple, built out of brick and steel, located at the northeast corner of 11th and J Street. It was dedicated as the home of Sacramento Elks Lodge No. 6 on June 22, 1926. Шаблон:Citation needed
