Auburn Native Sons Hall

Rebuilt in 1860 after a fire, George Willment resumed his mercantile business on the lower floor of this new fireproof building. The second floor was added at this time which was owned and operated by the Eureka Lodge #16 F&AM. In 1871, Willment sold his part of the building to David and Julia Lubeck and the business continued as a dry goods store. The downstairs usage was changed to an undertaker's parlor from 1896 to 1935. After the Masons moved to their uptown location, the upstairs was sold to Julia Lubeck in 1916. In the years following the Masons departure many other organizations used the upstairs including Auburn Parlor #59 NSGW. Following the undertaking business the building had various owners and usages until Clay's Home Furnishings purchased the building circa 1960. In 1986, Auburn Parlor #59 of the Native Sons of the Golden West purchased this building from Clay and has operated it as their meeting hall ever since with the downstairs being retail space.
