A plaque reads: "This building, once owned by Sam Choy, is the only building remaining from a large Chinese settlement here in early Gold Rush days. Now owned by city of Angel Camp."
"According to The Virtual California Gold Country: Highway 49 Revisited Online, Sam Choy sold his building to the city of Angels Camp for use as a jail. It was so used until the laws were changed to require that prisons be attended at all times when occupied by prisoners." (
