James Chandler ("J. C.") Wood added the first addition to the original town plat of Jacksonville Versailles on August 14, 1837, increasing the number of lots from 20 to 51. Parts of lots 26 and 27 were set aside for a Market Place, and for the next thirty-eight years, as the town grew, Market Space served as the site of the Town Hay Scales and an open market space for the village. The Town Hall was built there in 1876, replacing the Hay Scales. The Lemoine Building was built in 1907 and housed businesses including John Speelman Music Store, Charles Bertke Shoe Store, Fountain Square Meat Market, Lester Pepiot Radio Repair, Paulus Furniture, Zellers Kroger Store, Jess Green Radios, Davidson Restaurant, Austerman Fruit Market, Phelan Insurance, McClellan's, Orpha's Beauty Shop, Fountain Restaurant, Clammers Justice of the Peace, Rigg's and Miller's Photography, and Dr. McNeil, Veterinarian. Its second floor was at different times a large ballroom, a skating rink, and a temporary classroom space while the new school was being built in 1926. Since 1908, Fountain Square has been a gathering place for concerts, ice cream socials, special events, Scout camping, Halloween parade judging near the fountain, the arrival of Santa Claus for the downtown Christmas shopping season, the crowning of Miss Versailles at the sesquecentennial celebration, and regular Friday night concerts and Farefest. The square was renovated in 2001 with the relocation and restoration of the fountain and the addition of decorative pavement, light fixtures, flagpoles, a gazebo, and two bronzed sculptures, and the completed project was dedicated on April 23, 2002. After the Lemoine Building was built, citizens sought to beautify the square with green space and a decorative fountain, and at a Village Council meeting in July 1908, B. F. Cable, Harry Didot, and William Stevenson proposed raising subscription funds for a fountain on Market Square; when the effort stalled, the Altrurian Club raised the money to complete the project.
