The Landing: Where History Meets the Riverfront
In the heart of downtown Fort Wayne lies The Landing, a single block on Columbia Street that has seen the city's entire history unfold. Once the primary trade hub for the Wabash and Erie Canal, it has been reimagined as a modern pedestrian district. It isn't just a destination on its own—it is the historic gateway to the Promenade Park and Riverfront area.
🧪 The Art of Historic Preservation
The Landing is famous for its "festival street" design, using permeable pavers and no curbs. At Chem-Dry of Northeast Indiana, we apply that same level of specialized care to the interior of these historic buildings. We are famous for our Hot Carbonated Extraction (HCE) Cleaning Process and for the EPA Safer Choice designation.
- Low-Moisture Care: Historic lofts often feature delicate area rugs and vintage upholstery. Our carbonated cleaning uses 80% less water, protecting the fibers and the flooring underneath.
- Business-Hour Mitigation: To protect the massive investment in the restoration of Columbia Street, we offer water damage mitigation during normal business hours for any local property owner.
At the Heart of the Three Rivers Festival
When the Three Rivers Festival brings thousands of people downtown, The Landing becomes the "living room" of the city. Its location makes it the perfect midpoint between the festivities at Headwaters Park and the riverfront. Whether you are a local "baby boomer" with memories of the old Columbia Street or a newcomer enjoying the modern dining scene, The Landing represents the best of Fort Wayne’s resilience and growth.
