StructureBuilt in 1855, it was originally known as the Potter Building. A two story brick structure,[3] it was fitted with iron doors and shutters, plus a filigree balcony railing.[4] The space was first used as a drug store. From 1857 to 1880, it functioned as the South Yuba Canal Office.[5] The Nevada City Chamber of Commerce is the building's current occupant.[6] It is the oldest business building in Nevada City.[7] South Yuba Canal Water CompanyThe South Yuba Canal Water Company that was run from this office was the first incorporated to supply water for hydraulic mining. Originally named in 1854 as the Rock Creek, Deer Creek, and South Yuba Canal Company as a consolidation of three rival ditch companies,[4] the name was shortened in 1870 to the South Yuba Canal Company.[6] The company built and operated flumes, reservoirs, and water ditches that carried water to connecting water systems that supplied hundreds of hydraulic mines in the area. In 1882, the company built a dam at Lake Fordyce to trap snowmelt and runoff for release in the dry season.[8] The company later entered the utility business, and in 1905,[8] its holdings went on to become a part of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company's hydroelectric system.[4] South Yuba CanalThe company's original ditch was put into use in 1850. The South Yuba Canal is now part of the public lands of the Tahoe National Forest.[9] The South Yuba Canal System is used for delivering domestic and agricultural water to Nevada City and its neighbor Grass Valley. The water also generates electricity in Northern California. It is approximately {{convert|18|mi|km|abbr=on}} in length. Crossing private and National Forest lands, the canal is bordered by conifers and hardwoods.[9] California Historical LandmarkThe building is honored as the California Historical Landmark No. 832. The plaque's inscription reads:[5]
