THE AMERICAN HOUSE. On the northwest corner of Iowa avenue and Second street was erected and opened in 1840 the third hotel in Bloomington by T. S. Battelle, and called the American Hotel. The building was 45x72 feet, and two stories in height. In 1866 the property was sold to G. A. Garrettson and others, who erected the Merchants Exchange National Bank building on its site. The old hotel had several landlords, but space will not permit naming them.
