APPROVE Certificate No. 90309MKT. The proposed sign falls within the guidelines for signs contained in the Market Square Design Guidelines. The sign board, while not traditional in materials or their use, does occupy the sign board space.
Flenniken-Strong Building. Two story brick, two bay building. Arched second story windows, corbelled arched window hoods, corbelled brick cornice. Storefront altered c. 1985. The first occupants of this building and #22 to the south were two dry goods stores, S. W. Flenniken and Strong & Co. Various clothing and shoe stores continued to occupy the buildings until the 1960s, when they housed a tobacco store and a florist. By the 1980s, a restaurant could be found in the building, which today houses a retail outlet named Bliss.
The use of non-traditional materials and design within the traditional framework reflects the current renaissance of Market Square, and the character of the building's retail occupant.
