The Gamble Building, built around 1850, is a stone structure about 64 by 56 feet (20 m × 17 m) in plan; among other uses, it was once a Wells Fargo office. A one-room jail is attached to its northwest corner.
The Miner's Bean Kettle, built around 1870, was a woodframe building attached to the south wall of the jail; it had been used as a residence, post office, and restaurant.[2] The Bean Kettle was dismantled in 2014 by its owner, the Southern Tuolumne County Historical Society, on approval of the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors. It had deteriorated beyond repair and was no longer safe to enter. The Society preserved the pieces of the demolished Bean Kettle for use in a reconstruction or a historical display.[3][4]
