The Pfeiffer Building, Napa's oldest surviving stone commercial building, was constructed in 1875 by Philip Pfeiffer as the Barth Brewery. Over the years, it housed the "Stone Saloon," a brothel, and Sam Kee’s Laundry from the 1920s to the 1970s. Today, it hosts Vintner's Collective, a wine-tasting room open daily except Tuesdays, and the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
