Inscription. Indianola businesses were delighted with Morgan's move, and an addition to the established town was commenced. The addition included a part of the German immigrant camp, Karishafen. The addition became known as Brown's Addition to Indianola. The planners envisioned that the Main Street of Indianola would continue down the beach and be designated by the same name in the addition. The waterfront street of the addition was named "Water“.
