Charles F. Curry

19th SECRETARY OF STATE OF CALIFORNIA

COPIED TEXT FROM WIKIPEDIA:

Curry engaged in agricultural pursuits and the cattle, lumber and mining businesses. He served as a member of the State Assembly in 1887 and 1888. He became admitted to the bar of San Francisco in 1888 and was then the superintendent of Station B post office, San Francisco, from 1890 to 1894. After that Curry served as clerk of San Francisco city and county between 1894 and 1898. He was the Secretary of State of California from 1899 to 1910. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in 1910. The following year, he was appointed Building and Loan Commissioner of California. In the same year, he served as the representative to the Panama–Pacific International Exposition for the Pacific Coast and Intermountain States.

Curry was elected as a Republican to the Sixty-third Congress. He served eight consecutive terms from March 4, 1913 until his death in Washington, D.C., October 10, 1930 at which point his son won his seat as a write-in candidate. During his tenure as a Congressman, he served as chairman of the Committee on Territories (Sixty-sixth through Seventy-first Congresses).

In 1921, Curry had a new elementary school named in his honor in Vallejo, California. Charles F. Curry school was located at 321 Wallace Avenue, and was in operation from 1921 until 1973. The grounds also housed Carol Vista, a school for handicapped and special needs students.

Library

Exhibit Room

Using photographs of one of the reading rooms formerly located in the Apse, the room in the northwest corner of the building’s first floor, which had been one of the State Controller’s offices, was adapted to serve as a representation of the Library. However, museum staff have removed most of the items to accommodate rotating exhibits.

The California State Library was once housed in a portion of the State Capitol called the Apse. In 1928, the State Library and the California State Supreme Court moved from the Apse to a more modern building constructed on a plot of land located across 10th Street from the Capitol.

In 1949, workers demolished the Apse to make way for the East Annex, a massive, six-story addition grafted to the east side of the Capitol. The Apse, long considered one of the most distinctive portions of the Capitol, could not be replaced during the 1970s restoration.

Recognizing the importance of the State Library to the Capitol, especially to the era in which the building was restored, officials decided to reproduce a small part of the architectural feeling of the Library.
