Old Segale Building
History
3
The Old Segale Building was rebuilt in 1859 as a stone, fire-proof grocery and provisions store by Vassallo & Co. In 1861 it was the homestead of J.C. Green and wife. By 1863 it was owned and operated as a bakery by B.M. Orengo and Ruiseco. It is said that the baker Ruiseco was shot to death by a gun he had rigged in his cash drawer while getting change for a little girl's 5 dollar gold piece early one morning. Purchased in 1871 by Paul Segale and David Baratini, it became the home where Paul and Rosa Segale raised 8 children. Their second youngest child, Annie, owned it until her death at age 94. The Jim Riggs family purchased the building in 1978.
