The story
A hotel has stood on this Illinois Street site since 1858, when architect Francis Costigan built the four-story Oriental Hotel. Junk dealers Samuel and Julius Falender and banker Otto Meyer replaced it in 1928–29 with the 12-story Hotel Lockerbie, the last hotel built on Illinois Street before the Depression. Hotelier Glenn F. Warren took it over in the 1930s and renamed it the Warren; it closed in the mid-1970s as rail travel faded. It reopened as the Canterbury Hotel from 1983 to 2013, was wrapped by the Circle Centre mall, and opened as Le Méridien Indianapolis in late 2014.
