A Brief History of Union House
Union House Elementary School was built in 1988. Although there are several schools now with versions of the Union House architecture, the south Sacramento school was startlingly beautiful when it was first unveiled to the public. Truly, Union House was a school of the future as indicated by its flexible design, its innovative curriculum, and its accommodating nature. The name of the school commemorates an old time stage stop that was the center of its rural community. Union House was just down the road on Lower Stockton Road, now known as Franklin Boulevard. New houses now cover the spot where the road once curved, but generations of old timers knew this area as Union House. The stage stop was built in 1862 by a man named Amos Butler. He wanted to proclaim his strong belief in the union of states in the days preceding the Civil War. The busy road connected the two busy fledgling cities of Stockton and Sacramento. Union House had its own post office, and the little one-room Prairie School was its place of education.
