Craycroft Building
Originally a log building constructed in 1850 by John Craycroft & Company. It housed the famous Craycroft Saloon which boasted a 70 foot bar made from one rip-sawed board. Destroyed by fire, on February 19, 1852, it was immediately replaced by the present brick & stone structure. In the early days the building housed the Court of Sessions, the Masons, Sierra Citizen & Mountain Echo newspapers, La Belle Restaurant, and the jail.
Marker is at the intersection of Commercial Street (State Highway 49) and Main Street (State Highway 49), on the left when traveling east on Commercial Street.
