Frank Stenovich built, owned and operated the first meat market in Wells. The Wells Market opened for business in 1902. With the fire of 1900 still fresh in his mind, Stenovich opted for brick construction hoping to avoid the fate that had claimed so many of the neighboring buildings. The historical data is unclear as to how long the building housed the Wells Market or any other tenants who may have followed. Long periods of vacancy further hamper efforts to trace its chronology. If you have information on this building or the history of Wells, please contact a member of the Wells Chamber of Commerce or the Customer Services Department of Wells Rural Electric Company.
