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 Charles Peters 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:
Charles Peters Building
328 W. Miner St.The presence of this building on an early Yreka map indicates that it was constructed on or before 1856. It was home to Charles Peters' Yreka Brewery and Saloon, with the saloon occupying the front portion of the building and brewery the back. Peters was one of Yreka's foremost citizens dedicated to the community's growth and development and served many years as the city treasurer. Extensive remodeling was done to both the interior and exterior of this building distorting its original configuration and "false-front" look.
