1. The Kendall Building Marker
Built in 1900, this is the original site of Kendall's Pool Hall. Fred and L.B. Kendall built this Prairie Craftsman style building in 1916 after fire destroyed the original wood structure.
This building operated as Kendall's Pool Hall until 1964. Kendall's great granddaughter, Rosie Kious-Tucker and her husband Ray Tucker renovated the entire building in 2016. This is a contributing building in our National Historic District.
