  • Levaggi Saloon 30048 Yosemite Boulevard Built 1897  The Louis Levaggi Saloon is an unusual structure, stylistically and technologically.  It is an idiosyncratic design for the late l890's and may represent the personal flair of the patron.  Built to replace a wood saloon that had burned to the ground, the original saloon on this site burned on January 13, 1897 as a result of a fire in the adjacent Coulter Hotel.  The saloon owner Louis Levaggi erected the present building the same year for $ 13,000.  It was known as the "Metropolitan."  The back bar and counter were purchased from a saloon in Hornitas, California.  Levaggi paid for the building in one year by selling 86,670 shots of whiskey at 15 cents per shot. The saloon catered mainly to miners and workers on the La Grange Dam.  But, has always been a place where all are welcome.  The Louis Levaggi building is furthermore an early example of the use of concrete construction for socially prominent structures.  Concrete was not used with any frequency prior to the early twentieth century; little was known about the medium and when it was employed, it was usually for utilitarian purposes.
