The Farmers Hotel at Ninth and Hampshire streets will be demolished this month. Lincoln-Douglas era lore centers on Lincoln’s night in the room known as Lincoln's room, where he allegedly slept after visiting Washington Park. Built 1850 by John E. Schoeneman, the hotel housed famous guests before fading to a lodging house for workers. Bernard and H J Hartman will erect a fireproof brick building to house Shipe and Schroeder’s implement business. Stables will be razed to make way for a garage on the lot.
