William O’Donnell’s Central Meat Market operated from here in 1889. O’Donnell was a pioneer citizen, first mayor, and liaison between the Chinese miners and the Union Pacific Coal Company. Otto Schnauber opened the Pacific Market at the location in 1897. After the Pacific Market moved in 1912, the building was occupied by a series of jewelry stores, one of which installed the large safe at the front of the store.
