Regarding Brignoli Building. The Brignole Buildings are Stop #18 and #18a on the Sutter Creek Walking Tour Brochure available at the Sutter Creek Visitor Center and Museum. The brochure states that the marker errs in its information. Brignole may have built both buildings, but neither in 1858. Brignole bought out countryman Bartolomeo Molinari by 1863 and established his first store next to this site (Now part of the Sutter Creek Inn). In 1866 he bought the two adjoining lots from Wildman and built the stone building. Both buildings were damaged in the 1888 fire.
