Notes
  • Significance: The Indiana Hotel was one of the larger, more decorated hotels in Hammond. It was built in c. 1922-23, in the Renaissance Revival Style. In a city with many fine examples of terra cotta-clad commercial structures, this combined four-story hotel-retail-office building stands out. The building features an elaborate cornice and refined window detail. The building caries a certain degree of infamy from the visit of the Indiana Ku Klux Klan leader, David Curtis Stephenson with his bodyguard and the kidnapped Madge Oberholtzer on March 12, 16, 1925. Injuries to Ms. Oberholtzer, her attempted suicide and subsequent death three weeks later in Indianapolis, led to a trial where Stephenson was found guilty of second degree murder.
