This city in the days of "49" was called "Hangtown." This was the site of Elstner's hay yard on which stood the "Hangmans Tree" where vigilantes executed many men for various crimes. The stump of the tree is under this building.
As of December 29, 2010, the building is being renovated. Here is an older picture of the building.
