It is California Historical Landmark No. 607 and is located at 1019–1021 Front Street in Old Sacramento State Historic Park. Booth Company was opened by lawyer Newton Booth as a wholesale grocery store and general store. Booth had a platform built on the roof of the building from which his employees could signal ships coming into the Port of Sacramento, so he could get ahead of his competitors in buying goods. A historical plaque was placed in front of the Booth Company by the Native Sons of the Golden West.

Then he became a United States senator from California from March 4, 1875, to March 3, 1881. Booth's inaugural ball as governor of California was held in the ballroom on the second floor of the Booth Company Building. The Booth Company Building was used as the Booth's governor's mansion. The next governor's mansion is now the Governor's Mansion State Historic Park. After serving in United States Congress, he returned to his wholesale store in Sacramento. Part of the building was rented to George W. Chesley, also a wholesale grocer, till 1891.
