In the cellar is the famous opening to the Blue Lead Mine. Known early as &#8220;3 Mile House&#8221; the building has served as a stage coach stop, general merchandise store, hotel, post office and community hall for 135 years. This building is perhaps the best preserved frame structure of its size in the entire Mother Lode. The earliest owner of record was Elihu Meredith who owned hotels in Coloma and on Green Valley Road. According to the Mountain Democrat, this house also served as the voting precinct headquarters from 1854 until after the turn of the century.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Smith Flat House was the western terminus of California\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first state highway, the Lake Tahoe Wagon Road, which was approved by the state Bureau of Highways in 1895.
