This building is one of many contributing buildings that make up the West Miner Street-Third Street Historic District. There is a historical marker that hangs in front of the Brown-Nickell-Authenrieth Building on historic W Miner St. There are numerous older buildings along Miner Street that contain historical markers that relate the history of each building. This historic building's marker reads:
Brown-Nickell-Authenrieth Building
322, 324 W. Miner St.The Yreka Bakery (spelled and pronounced equally correct forward or backward), was founded in 1856 by alleged Civil War deserter Frederick Deng. The business actually began at another location and then moved across the street before finally settling in this brick building. There were several owners, but the bakery operated continuously until 1965. Early newspaper accounts advertised 12 loaves of bread for a dollar (delivered daily), and a full assortment of other baked goods at reasonable prices. When the bakery vacated, another business moved in with a name that carried on the palindromic tradition: Yrella Gallery

This building is now home to a wonderful and very popular restaurant, Strings Italian Cafe that I highly recommend patronizing if you're in this area in the early evenings.
Yreka has a few websites devoted to preserving its rich history. Siskiyouhistory.org is a good place to start and breaks up the town's history into groups of years. Yrekapreservation.org contains some nice pictures of original homes and commercial buildings from yesteryear. Finally, Yrekahistory.blogspot.com is a good blog website which contains great stories and events of Yreka's past and all their articles have been archived.
