Update: Hotel Henry Watterson

A couple years ago, I posted about the Hotel Henry Watterson, which sat on the north side of Muhammad Ali between 4th and 5th Streets, 1911 - 1981. I also stated that while I'd found lots of drawings, advertisements, and vintage postcards featuring the building, I'd never run across a good photo of it, especially a front shot. Why so elusive, who knows. It may because it was in a dense area and there were several other large hotels, stores, and office buildings nearby that overshadowed it. I finally found one though, taken in 1928. Also, to understand exactly how it sat, I've included a photo courtesy of Broken Sidewalk. The park is basically the old hotel's footprint. You can also see the outlines where the Watterson touched the building next door (Molee Building).
