Jupiter

The Jupiter building at 346 E. Main Street was built in 1925. The S. S. Kresge Company purchased the site and constructed the Neoclassical style building for $150,000. The Kresge store remained at this location into the 1980s. Of note is the construction materials of light and blond brick. After Kresge's closed, Jupiter Department Store was located here. In 2008, Richie Kindler renovated the first floor space to open Jupiter Studios, a music performance space, a gallery featuring the work of local artists, and food and drinks from the added kitchen. The current owner, Jay Groom, has converted the venue into a Greek mythology themed Jupiter Events Center.
