Inscription. The house behind the store was built in 1876 by William Oscar Bentley. It was sold in the early 1900's to Thomas Judd, who attached a mercantile to the dining room. The Judd family owned and operated the store from 1911 until it was purchased and became part of the Greene Gate Village. The Green's detached the store but not Tom Judd, Thomas's grandson, who still sells candy to the children attending Woodward School across the street.
