Historic Downtown Apartment (Private Apartment in the Center of Downtown) - Heart of Downtown, Walk to Restaurants and Shopping - Additional Queen Murphy Bed - Free WiFi, Netflix, Parking - Full Kitchen, Dishwasher - Starbucks next door - 1 Block to Ballpark, Library/Genealogy - 2 Blocks to Convention Center, Embassy We bought the Old LaSalle Bed and Breakfast in late September of 2017. It had sat dormant for about a year, and we are slowly bringing it back as a Guest House. The LaSalle Guest House has 4 Private Apartments, and 7 Guest Rooms. The building is equipped with smart locks, where you use a door code to check yourself in, and come and go as you wish. There is not a permanent staff on property, however, Mike and his family live a few blocks away. This is the iconic LaSalle Guest House in Downtown Fort Wayne. The home was built in 1899, and moved to it's current location in 1930. This is in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne, with Starbucks a Frisbee throw away, restaurants, and activity in all directions. This is a full apartment, Living room, full Kitchen, Dining area, and Bedroom. Free parking is provided on site right behind the Sion Bass building next door at 509 West Washington. Our family lives just blocks away, and loves all downtown has to offer. We stop in once a day to ensure everything is still good. I am always available via the AirBnB App, and can be on property in minutes. West Central downtown is a magical space where people with souls reside. Sure, you can grab a tan cookie-cutter spot out in the burbs and care about the lawn, but why would you? This is where history, art, and friends meet. The West Central Neighborhood encompasses all of downtown west of Calhoun Street, the heart of West Central is its urban residential area, the development of which began as early as the 1830s. Because of the historic and architectural significance of this area, the West Central Neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and was designated as a Local Historic District as early as 1985.  The West Central Neighborhood was named the “Best Old House Neighborhood” in Indiana in 2010 by “This Old House Magazine.” The north side of the Neighborhood, along Berry and Wayne streets and Washington Boulevard, was where many of the City’s most prominent families built large, stylish homes.  On the south side, situated between West Jefferson Boulevard and the former Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, exists a collection of modest, small-scale cottages arranged along narrow, tree-lined, brick streets. Many workers for the businesses and various industries stretching along the south side of the tracks resided in this area. The area opens into downtown, with restaurants, shops, and countless ways to get lost in the city. The Historic LaSalle straddles the edge of the neighborhood and downtown. You can be out the door and on an adventure in minutes. Parking is steps away just in back of the building. We are on every major bus route in the city, and simply strolling distance to all downtown has to offer. In the summer, there is a large festival every single weekend. Our library is magnificent, and boasts the best genealogy department East of the Mississippi River (second in the nation, behind only Salt Lake City). The Barr Street Farmers Market every Saturday morning in the summer is a must see. You can be in the middle of everything in minutes.
