The Fleehart Building

The Fleehart Building is the oldest building in town, dating from the 1850’s. Built by William Fleehart, miner, merchant, and Wells Fargo agent, the building housed a general merchandise store where Fleehart furnished the miners with supplies and news. The building may have housed the Keystone company store for a short time, and it is the only store building to have survived the great fire of 1878.
