The Chichizola Store Complex, more than any other property, exemplifies the commercial response to gold mining in Amador County that began during the Gold Rush and continued until World War II. In particular, it represents the county's most important retail business that primarily served miners during that period. The district is virtually unchanged from its 1942 appearance, retains a high degree of architectural integrity, and maintains its associations to the events of the historic period.

The Chichizola Family Store Complex includes 11 buildings and one structure located on 20 acres of land in Jackson Gate. Included in the
complex are the store, two houses, two garages, two barns, a summer kitchen, a hot house, two storage buildings, and a pigpen. The buildings and structure were built over a period of 87 years and all contribute to the significance of the district. The complex has undergone only minor alterations over the past 50 years and retains a high degree of architectural integrity.
