Rocco Hall Building While the bottom story has been modernized, the top story hasn't changed since being constructed by Eplay and Elderkin in 1863 after the fire. Moreover, in late 1853 and '54, Amos Barrett and Daniel Maujer had a store here, and Barrett began his ill-fated career as Wells-Fargo agent or sub-agent through Hunter & Co. It was the long time venue for entertainments, theatricals and even pubilistic exhibitions and fights. It was known as the Rocco's Hall in those years. |
