Northwest South Dakota | Deadwood, SD - No 10 Saloon Original Location (original) (raw)

The original location of Nuttall & Mann's #10 Saloon was at 624 Main Street, but, the building burned down in the tragic fire of 1879. There are no known photographs of the original saloon. Today, the original location is occupied by a bar. In 1938, a "new" Old Style Saloon #10 was recreated across the street at 657 Main Street, which continues to operate today.

It was at this original location that Wild Bill Hickok was shot by Jack McCall on August 2, 1876. The prior evening when Hickok was playing poker with several men, including McCall, Jack lost heavily. Wild Bill generously gave him back enough money to buy something to eat, but advised him not to play again until he could cover his losses. This obviously humiliated McCall who would take his revenge the next day.
