The historic Weaver Building at the corner of First and F Streets in Eureka, California. At this site one of the leading hotels in Eureka was built in 1853, but by 1890 it was in decline so it was torn down and the lot was sold to F.A. Weaver, who built this building and opened the Wave Saloon in 1893. The two-story building is constructed entirely of local redwood and features decorated pillars on the first-floor facade and elaborate scrollwork and dentils on the second story. The upstairs has two bay windows, one facing F Street and one angled over the corner above the entrance, overlooking both streets. The building deteriorated badly following World War II until it restoration of the area began in 1973. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 12, 1974. It is also a contributing structure in the Eureka Historic District which was placed on the National Register on October 15, 1991.
