Photo of 1889 Fort Wayne with tagged buildings may not display due to browser security settings

Posted May 17, 2022 by Randy Harter, Fort Wayne historian and authoron True Fort Wayne Indiana History on Facebook
Several of you (as well as myself) have lamented over buildings that are being razed in Fort Wayne to build something we feel is less desirable or needed at the cost of the former structure. Often we are disappointed because we have a nostalgic emotional attachment to the building or business that it once housed. And, sometimes it just appears to us that the building should be able to be rehabbed for its next use rather than leveled as the current owner or developer feels is appropriate. Other times we’re dispirited based of our perception due to our being the outsiders looking in without all the facts that only owners, contractors and developers have at hand. As recently mentioned by some of you, some buildings can’t be practically saved due to age and condition regardless of how they appear. As a longtime student of local history I among many of you have at times felt betrayed when a wonderful old building suddenly disappears. However, to impinge the reputation of those that are doing the razing and rebuilding simply due to they being able to afford to do so makes little sense as in many cases our city is fortunate to have their generous support across a wide range of meaningful local causes.

As an example of our (for better or worse) always changing skyline, recently some members of the Fort Wayne History Roundtable labeled this wonderful view taken in 1889 from the bell tower of St. Paul’s Church on Barr Street. If you’re able to read the small print you’ll see that we were only able to find two identifiable buildings in the entire view that are still standing out of the dozens in the photograph. These are the building on S. Calhoun that now house the Dash-In and its neighbor to the north that most recently housed Klinger Jewelry. As best we can tell every one of the other buildings in the photo has been razed for one reason or another, even once glorious churches. One of you paraphrased in a recent post the quote “When one door closes another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” - Alexander Graham Bell I appreciate that we are a progressive city on the move, even when the moves don’t always fit my pleasure. I hope you enjoy this 133 year old image.

The photo is labeled 4/2022 by local historians C. Smith, C. Leonard, R. Harter, T. Castaldi, J. Downs with a hand from Bert Griswold author of the 1917 Pictorial History and newspaper writer with more about Fort Wayne.

Most ebooks use optical character recognition for keyword searching, but they won't find every instance of every keyword. Be sure to look for an index in the back of the books, and when all else fails, read or scan important sections of the ebooks that might contain the information you are looking for even if a keyword search does or does not find what you are looking for. Some books in the The Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indianahave added manually indexed versions of these book that will have surnames the OCR does not find.

It can be helpful to consult the The Genealogy Center online card catlog to see if a separarte index has been created since the original publication. One example is the two volume Valley of the upper Maumee River, with historical account of Allen County and the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana which has a couple of different surname indexes.

Many of these books were digitized at the Allen County Public Librarywhile some may only be available in The Genealogy Center. Some of these books may be for sale locally such as at Coney Island Wiener Stand Book Collection, The History CenterShop or Visit Fort WayneStore. Fortunately a lot of the old out of copyright pre-1923 are digitized on the Internet Archive. See video below how to use the Internet Archive.
