Caption: Marker detail: 400 West Water Street
Additional Description: Originally a shoe store, Ole J. Ness took possession of 400 W. Water Street on August 9, 1909. Ness was in partnership with Gust Kjome in the grocery business, then started a grocery store of his own and operated in several locations before moving to this building. After the death of O.J. Ness, Donald and Louise Ness Flickinger, his son-in-law and daughter, bought the grocery business and renamed it “The Family Store.” The original building's cornice exhibited wide molding and small roof brackets in pairs, characteristics of the Italianate style. Java John's now occupies the building.
