Lincoln Bank Tower

Lincoln Bank Tower is an Art Deco structure in Fort Wayne featuring 22 stories with walls of Indiana limestone and terra cotta detailing on its exterior. The building now operates as office space while preserving the architectural character of its original construction.

Construction started following the 1929 stock market crash and continued through a period of economic hardship. The structure held the title of Indiana's tallest building until the early 1970s, marking an important chapter in the state's architectural evolution.

The building represents the banking heritage of Fort Wayne and reflects the city's early 20th century growth driven by commerce and financial institutions. Visitors passing through can still observe the carefully designed interior spaces that once symbolized economic progress.

The building sits downtown on East Berry Street and is easy to reach with nearby parking options. Advance reservations allow visitors to tour the interior spaces and view the architectural details up close.

The lobby spans 85 feet wide and features decorative murals with Greek and Egyptian motifs depicting industrial themes throughout the space. This ornate interior design contrasts with the austere exterior and often surprises visitors upon entering.
