Description
As the granite industry flourished in Rocklin in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, so did saloons. Some of the Finns developed drinking problems. Concerned family members established Rocklin's Finnish Temperance Society and built Finn Hall for social functions in 1905. The granite blocks for the steps and foundation were donated by Finnish quarry owners.
