The 1914 Lucas building that was the home of Lucas Confectionery. In Memorial day marches after WWI Lucas handed out free ice cream to marchers who made it from the cemetery to his store. Later John Follis operated a restaurant in this building.

In 1952 this was home to Norma and Bill's Cafe. From 1953 to 1998 it was Nellie's Cafe / Northside Cafe. It was Birdsong Antiques when we went by in 2016. It's apparently open limited hours so we weren't able to get inside, but it sounds like there is a vintage soda fountain counter and cafe booths from the old days.
