Watts & Tannahill Company Store - Groveland, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"he Iron Door Saloon, originally known as the Watts & Tannahill Company Store or the Granite Store, is one of the oldest buildings in Tuolumne County and one of the oldest Gold Rush buildings in the Mother Lode.

It has undergone few significant alterations during its lifetime. It displays splendid craftsmanship, with solidly constructed native slate stone walls in the basement and carefully fitted granite blocks on the front and rear walls with slate stone for the side walls.

The building has been at the center of Groveland's commercial life, serving first as a mercantile store from about 1850 until the late 1880s and then playing a prominent role in the town's social life, serving continuously from 1896 to the present as a saloon except during prohibition when it was a "soft drink establishment.'
