Yosemite Boulevard and La Grange Road
La Grange
Built 1850 or 1851

These two stone buildings, built in a style typical of Gold Rush commercial buildings, are protected against fire by tall iron doors. The buildings served variously as a post office, butcher shop, general store, stage stop, Wells Fargo office, bank, and warehouse. Today, they serve as an historical museum.

Next to the museum stands a wood frame jail from the days when La Grange was the county seat. A plaques reads:

 
The Old Jail

Formerly at the foot of Main Street. Replaced one built in 1858, which burned in June 1900. A few Clampers may have slept here, but Clampers helped restore this building in 1976.
Estanislao Chapter No. 58
E Clampus Vitus

April 25, 1976

 
Of the several old jails pictured on NoeHill, this is the only one made of wood.
