South Land Park Hills Shopping Center, designed by William Koblik, AIA - 1960
On South Land Park Drive near 35th Ave, Sacramento.
Architect: William Koblik
Development: Capital Development Company
Date: 1960
Original South Hills Shopping Center designed by William Koblik. The plaza featured a modern “canopy skirting” on the eaves of the perimeter of the Center which still exists today. The market was distinguished by its concrete shell arches. When Safeway left the shopping center, Jumbo Market temporarily leased the building. In 1970, Sooky Lee converted the building for the U.S. Post Office.
Koblik’s work included many schools in Northern California, Congregation B’nai Israel (along with his partner at the time, Alfred M. Fisher), and the Novack residence (see Point of Interest U). He also was the architect in charge of overseeing the building of the Sacramento Convention Center.
In 1956, Koblik was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished Service from the American Institute of Architects California Council. In 1971, he was appointed by Governor Ronald Reagan to the California State Building Standards Commission.
