Additional Details:
Interior view of The Eilley Orrum Gift Shop. The building was known for many years as the Magnolia Saloon, built in 1876. The building was bought in 1900 by the J. M. Davis family, and was operated as a stationery and book store. The telephone exchange was installed in this building in 1902, and still has the original "drop-leaf" switchboard, which was operated for many years by a blind woman named Suzie Davis. The shop now carries a fine selection of Antiques, Jewelry, Glass and China. The shop was named in honor of Eilley Orrum, "Queen of the Comstock."
