Sam Kee Laundry Building, Historic stone building in Napa, California.

The Sam Kee Laundry Building, also known as the Pfeiffer Building, stands at 1245 Main St. in Napa, California. Built in 1875, it is the oldest stone building and oldest commercial building in Napa. Its generally simple design is topped by a decorative Italianate cornice.

Built in 1875, the Sam Kee Laundry Building is the oldest stone commercial building in Napa. By 1880 it formed part of a brewery, possibly the city's first. It later housed a boarding house, a saloon and a laundry, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 1, 1974.

The name Sam Kee Laundry recalls one of the building's later uses, a laundry, after earlier stints as part of a brewery, a boarding house and a saloon. Today the ground floor holds the Vintner's Collective, a wine tasting bar, so the 1875 stone front on Main Street is again a place where locals and visitors stop in.

The building is now open to visitors and serves as a tasting room where you can sample wines from several Napa Valley producers. You can explore the historic interior while learning about the local wine region.

The 2014 South Napa earthquake damaged the building; it reopened in January 2015, and by August 2015 exterior restoration was still under way. The building had been listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 1, 1974.
