Julia Meek: You guys have been handling it very, very well, and as things all catch up and come together down on that river, what can you think about developing at the Cambray?
Ben Hall: Me and the other folks who I share a last name with and some element of a bloodline, everybody has opinions. And someday it'll be something. I guess, if I had something more interesting to say than that, I probably would.
December 26, 2018 post by Don Hall's Restaurants on Facebook: The supporting walls are poured and set to cure for 30 days before this 500 ton building can be placed on its new home! You can start to get a good perspective of this location. It will be overlooking Fort Wayne’s new riverfront park and down into the St. Marys River. If you look closely to the left of where the building sits currently, you can see Fort Wayne Outfitter's Bike Depot & Bike Hub and the historic Cass St. Train station across the river! Lots of new construction on the Riverfront Fort Wayne perfect while holding on to our history. Thank you to all who have supported this amazing riverfront in Fort Wayne! Paddles up!
February 5, 2019 post by Don Hall's Restaurants on Facebook. Talk about a 100 year challenge!! 😱 After a long day of hard work and a tedious moving process the old Cambray building is officially set into place, and will continue to be worked on lowering to its new foundation! Make sure to walk or drive by the corner of Superior and Harrison to see it firsthand! — in Fort Wayne. Also posted a 34-minute video: LIVE NOW: Hall’s Building Move
If you weren't able to join us for the four-hour long live feed of the building move, we were able to compress everything you need to see in just under four minutes (the building is moving at 8x the actual speed in this video. Check out our live stream replay from earlier to see how slow it was actually moving.) Be sure to watch until the end to see how much of a tight squeeze it was.
We are elated for our new neighbors, and we are so excited to see the Fort Wayne skyline change—from our perspective.
This is its second move in a year. Its original resting place was 312 S. Harrison Street for around 124 years before it moved across the street next to our agency (at 120 West Superior Street) in January last year. Now, it has finally moved to its final resting point at the southeast corner of Superior and Harrison—where it will become a two-story restaurant with a patio overlooking Promenade Park. We look forward to seeing what Bud Hall and his team do with this historic building.
