Redmen's Lodge & Kubli Building, 105 & 115 West California Street, Jacksonville, Jackson County, OR

Significance: The lot on the corner of California and Third Streets was for many years known as the site of the New State Saloon, one of the longest operating businesses in Jacksonville. In 1857 James Peters acquired the lot from James Cluggage for $250; the following year it was sold to L.S. Thompson for $1,500. Late in 1857, William McLaughlin was advertising his New State Saloon at that location, so Peters probably erected a new building during the short time he owned the land. The structure was frame and evidently had two stories: James Fey advertised his attorney's office "over the New State Saloon," and J. Forsyth's tailor shop was advertised "on the second floor of the New State Block."
