Regarding The Slippery Noodle Inn. Excerpt
this page online
The oldest survivor is also the oldest hotel left in Indianapolis. Originally named the Concordia House by its first proprietor, Ferdinand Mottery, the building standing at South and Meridian Street later became known in turn as the Tremont House and then as the Germania House (built 1863-64; architect/builder unknown). The Concordia House is the last remaining of the first generation of hotel "houses" built in the city after the opening of the 1853 Union Depot. Like its departed neighbors to the west, the California House and National Hotel, the Concordia House was erected south of the old depot to be close to the "eating house" and railroad offices located in the southern portion of the depot. Hotel guests probably grew fewer after the new railway station in 1888 turned the attention of arriving passengers to the north of the union tracks. In the 20th century, the Germania House was operated primarily as a rooming house and bar/restaurant for neighborhood patrons. The bar, now called "the Slippery Noodle Inn," was cited in 1977 by Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana as the oldest continuously operating bar/restaurant in the state.
