Near this point stood the locally famous inn built by Dan T. Cole in 1860. By 1890 the three-story roadhouse contained 16 lodging rooms, a dining and dance hall, bar, post office and telegraph station. A division point for the towns of Downieville, Goodyears Bar, and Forest City on the Henness Pass Road, its blacksmith and two barns provided hay for teams and fresh horses for stage companies. The inn was torn down in the 1920's, when the construction of Highway 49 in the canyon below led to the route's decline.
