Property Description
Own a bit of History! Built in 1863, this great old brick building was developed to house the French Coral Hardware Store. After Nevada City had experienced a devastating fire in 1863, Contractors from Rough & Ready, designed it as a Fire Safe structure. It has a second floor built above its heavy beamed ceiling, which supports several layers of brick to act as a firewall. Locals have rumored that the 1st Long Distance phone call in the Western US, was made from this location, supposedly to instruct the Water Tender in Graniteville to turn on the water which supported Hydraulic Mining activities in the area. The Building is approximately 30'X50' with a detached 750' garage structure. The property is .55 Acres located at the prominent corner of Pleasant Valley Road & Broad Street in downtown French Coral. This beautiful building features 10' tall heavy metal shutters over many of its doors & windows, a beautiful floor to ceiling Rock Fireplace built by a renowned Mason known to have developed legendary masonry rockworks for Hollywood Celebrities & Musicians in previous decades. The grounds have several old fruit trees and a huge Olive tree that dates back to the early 1900's.
