This fireproof stone structure was built by E. Hirshfeldter shortly after the Downieville fire of February 19, 1852. It is an excellent example of California Gold Rush architecture. From its inception, it was used as a hardware store utilizing a frame building behind to house a tin and iron works. Around the turn of the century, the building became a grocery store, as is its function today.
