The Inyo Marble Works was erected on the site in 1890, by San Francisco financiers. The rough marble was cut and polished into columns and slabs, using cheap water power from the Truckee River. The finished product was shipped by rail to California for use in various buildings, including the Crocker, Hobart, and Mills buildings in San Francisco.
