From the "Walking Main Street Jackson" tour brochure: In the 1890s, Amador Ledger publisher Richard Webb purchased "air rights" over the existing brick Peek and Newman livery, thus three-fourths of the building dates from 1898. The livery portion? One wall from 1856, the rest from 1860. A bank leased the livery space in the 1970s. Architect Gordon Fisk redesigned its facade, echoing the traditional livery entrance. For about 60 years the Amador Ledger was housed in the southerly half of the building before moving to Martell. South of the Webb building is Wells Fargo Bank which purchased the old Bank of Amador County circa 1965, thus returning to the exact spot where historic Wells, Fargo & Co. in the two-story, fancy Union House was located in late 1854-55!
