for Salvador Ferretti in 1920. Realty World and Dr. Whittman DVM now occupy this space. The house located to the East of the building was built in 1921 and has served as a residence for Ferretti. Critter Corner now occupies this space. Watts and Tannahill had this two-story adobe structure erected circa 1851. It is one of four Gold Rush era adobe buildings still to be found in Groveland. Coffee Time and Petal Pushers reside in this stately building. The current occupant of this building is the Iron Door Saloon. Watts & Company originally opened a mercantile in this stone building some time before 1852. The Groveland Hotel, now The Groveland Hotel at Yosemite National Park, is the town’s largest adobe building. George Reed, a prominent Gold Rush sawmill operator, built this structure in 1849. The Pioneer Spirit is alive and well in this part of the Sierra! Community members proved that with the building of the Groveland/Yosemite Gateway Museum and Library. One day this treasured building will be a part of our golden history. Come and sign our guest register and be a part of history in the making.
