Orla H. Bailey was born in Lansing in 1873. He spent some time as a clerk at the Cottage Grocery store, then in 1900 rented a wooden commercial building at this location on Ionia Street and opened his own grocery. IN 1915, Bailey purchased the property outright. The grocery business continued to prosper, and in 1922 Bailey hired local firm Cooper-Ehinger Construction Company to build a new store at the same location. Construction on the building (517-519 Ionia) began in July, and was finished by January 1923. Bailey moved his grocery into the buildings, and let out the other storefront to the Jay M. Toy Electrical Company. In 1925, Bailey purchased the nearby lot, and in 1927 constructed a second, similar building (513-515 Ionia). He leased space to barber Alvin B. Cooley and the Russel Bakery. [2]
Bailey apparently later acquired the bakery, and operated both the grocery and the bakery until his death from a heart attack in 1943. The businesses passed to his son, Orla H. Bailey Jr., who ran the bakery through the late 1940s, and the grocery until 1959. The storefronts were occupied by a series of businesses afterward, notably Chauncey's Barber Shop which occupied a space from 1929 though 1984, and Belen's Flowers which occupied a space from 1969 to 2010. The two buildings were sold to real estate broker Spiro Tesseris and his wife Sophia in 1984, and was purchased by 515 Ionia LLC in 2015. [2] They completely rehabilitated the buildings, and as of 2021 have leased to new tenants. [3]
