What was here?
Designed by William S. Joy and built in 1905, the Charlevoix was planned as an office building but opened as a modest hotel, a cheaper alternative to the Tuller and the Statler on Grand Circus Park; a 1916 ad lists 200 rooms, 150 with bath. It was a hotel for only about ten years, then briefly apartments, and from 1922 an office building for companies and unions, owned by the Grinnell Realty Co.; its Penthouse restaurant was said to draw mob figures. The building closed in the mid-to-late 1980s and decayed for decades. After bricks fell onto a car in 2012, a judge ordered it demolished, and on June 23, 2013, it came down in seconds.
