Hotel Deming was constructed in Viennese Neo-Classical style by "Boy Banker" Demas Deming Jr. (1841-1922) between 1913 and 1914. The 8-storey 250 room fire-proofed hotel stands on the corner of Sixth and Cherry Streets and was Terre Haute's largest hotel. Hotel Deming was a full service facility, featuring a barbershop, large dining room, The Copper Penny bar, and several shops. It is the only remaining example of the large downtown hotels, which included the Filbeck, the Indois, and the Terre Haute House. After the dissolution of the Deming Land Company in 1963, the hotel was purchased by the Hulman Company before being transferred Indiana State University shortly after who used it as a hall of residence and then a conference centre. In 1978, it was converted into an apartment complex for older people and renamed the Deming Center. It is also the location of Arts Illiana office and gallery.
