Fort Wayne's Centennial Celebration Arches (1666) description: Photo postcard taken by photographer F. Schanz during the Fort Wayne's Centennial Celebration. View looks south on Calhoun Street near Wayne Street. Two white arches span the street and are marked "Anthony Wayne" and "Little Turtle". Banners cross the street and vehicles, trolley and people are visible. Banner saying Ft. Wayne Lodge No. 14 I.O.O.F. Welcom[e] Broth[ers] is strung across the street. On History Center Digital Collection on the mDON mastodon Digital Object Network.
For "Throwback Thursday" we share this PLAN for the ANTHONY WAYNE MEMORIAL HIGHWAY prepared for the OPTIMISTS CLUB of FORT WAYNE by A.K. Hofer in 1944. This was obviously never built, but it is fun to imagine "What if ?" It's kinda hard to picture in your mind (at least for a surveyor) with North on the Bottom and South on the Top. THE GLORIOUS GATEWAY PARK is where The Three Rivers Apartmets are. At one time (1975) these were displayed at the Hofer and Davis office in 414 Utility Building, now the paper maps are brittle and tattered. Another piece of history from Hofer and Davis, Putting Northeast Indiana "On the Map" since 1915!
