The American Hotel is next door to the Masonic Temple, on the corner of Cass & Masonic. Good news regarding it's renovation was recently reported, but no word since.
A full view of The American Hotel.
A rear view of The American Hotel. The old sign says 'Hotel Fort Wayne - 300 Rooms with Baths'.
The sign for the former Burgundy Lounge (which appears to have been scavenged) is lit-up. This is a good sign when a building has the electricity turned-on.
The sign for the former Burgundy Lounge and the awning have been removed.
The sign for the American is pretty well busted up.
Across Cass along Temple Street is this desolate view.
