Emery's Italian Bistro (formerly Water Street Coffee Co.)
Architect(s): Suzana Rutar, (Architect), Evan Vause (Design & Project Architect)
Address: 306 S. Water St.
Year: unknown

This small and quaint building has been a welcome addition to the City of Henderson's downtown redevelopment efforts. The floor plan reveals two axes: one perpendicular to the street and the other with an approximately 30-degree rotation. More room is provided for exterior seating on the covered patio than interior seating, projecting the idea that the temperature is relatively comfortable more times out of the year than not. The pale yellow exterior, window treatments, and roof overhangs seem reminiscent of prairie style architecture from the Midwest.
