It was deemed significant as "the representative of a class of establishments that have played a vital role in the social and political atmosphere of Carson City, essentially a small rural community that enjoys the honor of being Nevada's capitol." It opened August 19, 1899 and is apparently the longest continuously operating bar in Carson City, having served even throughout the 1919-33 Prohibition. Being across from the Nevada State Capitol, it is believed to have had hosted many informal meetings that have affected the course of history in the state.[2]:3
