INDEX

[N7034]
The American Hotel South Bend Indiana
***************************************
It was John H. Harper probably, that changed the name to American Hotel, a name borne on its large swinging sign to the close of its career. In 1838, Renatus N. Koehler came to South Bend from Pennsylvania, and clerked in Harper's store for awhile. In January, 1839, he and Thomas Duey, having formed a partnership, rented the hotel and ran it till November, 1840.

1847 Business Venture
In 1847, August 25, Renatus Koehler & Thomas Duey again became the landlords, and now the owners as well. j\Ir. Koehler was the actual head, as Mr. Duey, for his part, took charge of the farming interests of the firm.

In 1850, Koehler & Duey sold the property to Capt. Samuel L. CotTrell and the furnishings to Col. Adam S. Baker, our now venerable townsman, of 908 South
Michigan street. Mr. Baker kept the hotel till the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana railroad was completed, which I think was in 1851.
