 Old Sacramento First they changed the river route. Then they literally raised the city. Many stores and homes were raised, but some could not afford it. One of the buildings was knocked over in a strong wind while it was being raised. For the homes and stores that could not be raised, their first floors simply became their basements and their second floors became their first floors. However, not all the streets and sidewalks were successfully filled in. Some people were fined or sent to jail for not filling in their sidewalks. Even one of the Big Four had been fined.
