In 1863, Joseph Gray built Truckee's first structure on this site for use as the Dutch Flat-Donner Lake Wagon Road's Toll Station. The old log structure was moved in 1907 to the Englehart property on Church Street, one block east of this site, where it still stands today and the brethren of ECV dedicated a plaque in 1965. In 1909, D.J. Smith, with the help of European-trained stone masons, constructed the present building for use as a livery and garage.
