Sam Brannan arrived in Napa Valley in the late 1850s and purchased a square mile of land at the foot of Mount St. Helena. This is the store he built, in which he made $50,000 in one year.
Today this location is occupied by the Brannan Inn Care Home. There is no official plaque but instead sports a hand lettered sign at the corner.
