The Tower Hotel is located on the northeast corner of Eleventh and Jackson Streets in downtown Anderson, Indiana. It is also known as Tower Building;095-015-4605.

History

The name of the building is somewhat of a misnomer as the building never actually functioned as a hotel. If the hotel had opened it would have been part of the Pick-Wenzel chain. The hotel was to feature a complete bakery, a barber shop, a banquet hall, a business center, a large lobby and dining room. Unfortunately the depression struck, the building was up, but the interiors were not completed.

The building stood empty for many years, until the Gospel Trumpet bought the building and converted it into apartments.

A three story auto hotel was built adjacent to the Tower Hotel. The auto hotel was a business concept that really never became popular, but in addition to offering parking, full maintenance service was offered for the automobile. The auto hotel was torn down in the 1990s.
