37 Main (Historical Building) A one story brick raised here after an 1855 fire still stands before you. yet it was once two stories, too. it survived the 1862 fire, and Amador Dispatch publisher, William Penry bouth it for his paper, later adding a second floor to house his press. The Dispatch's fiery editorials in support of the south, and itemperate remarks upon the death of Abraham Lincoln, goaded federal authorties to close the paper and arrest its editors.
