Historic Building 1881
In 1858 John Armstrong purchased this and surrounding land from the U.S. knowing the Pacific Railroad would site its station here. Armstrong sold some land to the railroad for $1.00. By 1865, when the railroad began construction, business men from 'Old Town' wanted to relocate here. Portions of the site sold for as much as $5500. This building erected in 1881 has had many businesses, including a Western Auto Store (1983-90) operated by Phil and Delores Crotty, the present owners.| HM Number | HM1NSG |
