Recently, the picture below, which appeared in the Register-Star for Monday, February 5, 1973, inspired Paul Barrett, the historian member of the Historic Preservation Commission, to wonder about the building being demolished. He shared his discoveries with Gossips, along with permission to publish his research.
Most know that the parking lot in the 300 park of Warren Street, across from what is now The Maker Gymnasium, was the site of the Hotel Lincoln, which was damaged by fire and subsequently demolished in the 1950s.
But the parking lot occupies the site of another building as well: 313 Warren Street. According to the 1911 Sanborn map, the building was the location of a Chinese laundry.
This picture, taken in 1956, documenting the fire at the Hotel Lincoln, shows the building that once stood at 313 Warren Street and was demolished in 1973 for no known reason other than it was old.
