Collins Denney succeeded him and remained until 1836, and Captain Henry Reed, who died there in 1837, had been the proprietor for a little more than a year prior to his death. Next in order came Jesse Sharpe, and while he was in charge the building was sold, and in 1842 it was discontinued for hotel purposes and became a drygoods store. Afterwards the same name, Indian King, was given to another hotel which stood for years on Market street above Front, occupying the site of the present A. J.
