Midtown Sacramento has a new historic landmark.

On Wednesday, the city of Sacramento announced that a house at 2025 P Street has been added to the Register of Historic and Cultural Resources.

The house, which was built in 1907, is a well-preserved model of Colonial Revival architecture that was also the home of noted photographer Levi Vandercook.

"The property owner listing this building as a landmark helps recognize and preserve another piece of Sacramento's distinct history," Sacramento Associate Planner Henry Feuss said in a statement.

Vandercook's photos have provided an important visual record of Sacramento and Northern California at the turn of the 20th Century.

A number of properties on P Street alone have been registered as historic landmarks.  

Like many of Sacramento's historic homes on the grid, the Vandercook house has been converted into a commercial building. A midwife clinic currently occupies the building.
