“Fort Gunnybags” 1903
On March 21, 1903, the California Historic Landmarks League placed a bronze tablet on the face of the building at 215 Sacramento street that had formerly been the headquarters of the Vigilance Committee of 1856, inscribed as follows: “Fort Gunnybags was situated on this spot, headquarters of the Vigilance Committee in the year 1856.” Many of the old Committee and Pioneers participated in the ceremonies. The old Monumental bell which had been used those stirring days was also in evidence and pealed out its last “call to arms.”
