The tallest skyscraper in Elkhart! by Tim Kiser

The tallest skyscraper in Elkhart!

When I was a teen I assumed that everybody else was like I was: that the first thing that came to anybody's mind when they thought about Elkhart was this building, because it is the tallest in town. Ridiculous!

-----------------------

In downtown Elkhart, Indiana, on May 30th, 2020, the former Hotel Elkhart, later known as the Greencroft Tower, then the Cornerstone Apartments, at the southeast corner of South Main Street and East Marion Street.

The building is a "contributing property" in the Elkhart Downtown Commercial Historic District, 97001178 on the National Register of Historic Places. The nearest portion with the fire escapes was completed in 1928. The portion in the back and to the left is the original part of the hotel, completed in 1923.

Charmingly modest building of concrete blocks in beige paint, with operable shutters. by Tim Kiser

Charmingly modest building of concrete blocks in beige paint, with operable shutters.

It is unusual for a building in the U.S. to have actual working shutters instead of phony ornamental shutters — let alone a building in Indiana!, let alone a building in northern Indiana!

-----------------------

In downtown Elkhart, Indiana, on September 14th, 2014, at an intersection of alleys on the block bounded by South 2nd Street, South 3rd Street, West Lexington Avenue, and West High Street.

The building is said to have been erected in 1920.

In downtown Elkhart is the rounded corner of a 1940s telephone station with 1960s attachments. by Tim Kiser

© Tim Kiser, all rights reserved.

In downtown Elkhart is the rounded corner of a 1940s telephone station with 1960s attachments.

Join me on my journey of ONLINE RESEARCH:

• The Elkhart County government says the building was erected in 1967. That seems reasonable for the end portions but not the central portion with the rounded corner. Hardly anybody was spending money on rounded corners in the late 1960s.

• Plus there's this postcard for sale which shows the building as the "Indiana Associated Telephone Corporation." The postcard looks like it's from before the 1960s. Moreover, a 1962 newspaper article reprinted at this blog asserts that the Indiana Associated Telephone Corporation changed its name to General Telephone Company of Indiana, Inc., in 1952.

• According to my online review of Polk city directories of the city of Elkhart at the library edition of Ancestry.com, a funeral home was located at this site in 1945, and the Indiana Associated Telephone Corporation was located here in 1947.

• Therefore I hereby assert that the central portion of this building was probably erected sometime between 1945 and 1947; and that at least one of the wings was probably added in 1967. Voilà!
