It was also one of the first permanent buildings built in the town, which was still primarily a mining camp at the time.

It was apparently first owned by H.C. Brougher, but businessman Harry King bought the brewery by the end of 1901.

King sold the brewery to two other businessmen in the spring 1902 but purchased it again by the following October.

At the end of 1902, King added a crafted parapet to the building, which indicates that Tonopah had local stone craftsmen by that time.
