The building was originally constructed by John Fountain and Benjamin Tallman and used as a soda works. Over the years the building has been sold/bought/and auctioned off by many owners and has been used for a multitude of services to include office space, storage space, town jail, and even PG&E offices. In 1981 the building was deeded to the El Dorado County Historical Society to be used as a museum; which is its purpose to this day.
