Originally built by C.S. Ricks in the 1860's, the Oberon Building has a rich place in the business history of Eureka. It's been a hardware and tin smith store, speak easy, YMCA, antique store, pet shop and housewares store as well as a saloon. In 1905 businessman Dick Tierney leased the property and opened the most upscale drinking establishment of the time, The Oberon Saloon. The custom tilework from the original Oberon Saloon can be seen along the sidewalk in front of the building as well as the original chandelier inside.
