J.H. Gerdes' tailor & dry goods store was here, possibly as early as the mid 1880s, and certainly during the 1890s. For the first three decades of the 20th century this was Tom DeLallo's building, first as a saloon, but by 1909 as the Cerrillos Mercantile Co., which grew to have branches in San Pedro and Waldo. Around 1930 Mike Leyba acquired this building, and in 1934 he sold it to Tony Simoni, who also owned the building next door. Businesses here have included the Monte Carlo Bar, Mitchell's Antiques and briefly the "Cerrillos Rustler" newspaper. In 2014 the Torres' purchased the building to open the Black Bird Saloon.
