"The Coulterville Man Street Historical District uncludes 25 syructures including this one story building built circa 1860. This building stone and brick walls survived the 1879 and 1899 fres that destroyed Coulterville. Using the walls, owners Ralph Jones and Peter Longhurts rebuilt after the 1879 fire. After the 1899 fire, owners Thomas B McCarthy, again using the original walls, rebuilt the building in use today. In the 19th century this structure was utlized for a variety of purposes, including a laundry, general store, barber shop, and cigar store. In 1937 the current building was home of the original Johnny Haigh Saloon and in 2011 it was reopened as the Old Johnny Haigh Saloon. After over 150 years these historic walls remain standing.
