Scope Of Work
This large Craftsman style bungalow was built in 1901 for prominent Oak park physician John T. Culver. In 1953, the house became a private child-care facility. From 1972-1973, it was a private school that emphasized African American culture and history. After that, the Eta Gamma Omega chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, an African American sorority, purchased the building and reopened the child-care center (Oak Park Preschool). The sorority continues to operate the preschool and also holds meetings in the house, as does the Sacramento chapter of the NAACP. This house is a Sacramento Landmark registered as a Historic & Cultural Recourse for the City.
