Located at the corner of T and 22nd streets, it's one of Sacramento's most eye-catching houses and the former home of one of the city's most famous residents: renowned author Joan Didion. It recently opened for its first public tour. "It's truly an amazing house," said Christine Weinstein of the Sacramento Old City Association.
