In 1863, Joseph Gray built Truckee's first structure on this site for use as the Dutch Flat Donner Lake Wagon road's toll station. The old log structure was moved in 1907 to the Englehart property of Church St, one block east of this site where it still stand and the brethren of ECV dedicated a plaque in 1965. In 1909, DJ Smith with the help of European trained stone masons constructed the present building for use as a livery and garage.
