From Noehill:
Here we have two brick buildings united by a stepped parapet, and dating back to 1855. Alas, the buildings have been so insensitively remuddled over the years that the parapet appears to be the only original feature of the facade. Although these buildings are within the Jackson Downtown Historic District, they do not contribute its historic charcter. They are listed on the National Register solely because the Order of Native Daughters of the Golden West was organized here in a basement meeting hall on September 11, 1886.
