1. 107 West Elder AMERICA Marker

Inscription. 107 W. Elder, a three-story Italianate brick building with a first-floor storefront and residential quarters above, was built in 1860 and housed several saloons over its initial years. Evans Cafe, a restaurant and bar with a troubled reputation, operated in the storefront from the late 1950s to the mid-80s. After sitting vacant until the 2000s, the building was purchased in 2011 and reopened as Daisy Mae's Market, selling fresh produce. In 2018, OTR Bagel Bar began occupying the space.

Erected 2025 by America 250-Ohio Commission.
