Note from Jack Sheridan, Oct. 2022 "The first Harding Hotel - this photo - was located on Park St, west side, one block south of the ferry landing. It burned in the early fifties and the owner - Harding - then built the wanna-be longest bar in Michigan with rooms and dancing near the northeast corner of Ferry and Center streets. The first Harding Hotel was across the street from this guest only little park and great view - note the sign!"
