The Murphy-Dolan Store--one side of a merchant feud which ignited the Lincoln County War.  The store was owned by Lawrence Murphy and James Dolan.  Billy the Kid was a hired-guard for the other faction, John Tunstall (an English cattle-rancher) and Alexander McSween, a prominent lawyer.

The Murphy-Dolan store on U.S. Route 380.  The building eventually became the County  Courthouse.
