From the Logansport Daily Journal page 3 dated Aug. 27, 1882:

All the preliminaries for the extension of the Logansport branch of the Vandalia railway to Lake Michigan have been satisfactorily adjusted, and upon compliiance with a few easy conditions the contact will be closed, and the work will be commenced and pushed to completion.

Readers of the Journal are familiar with the route of this line to Marmont (Maxinkuckee), and will have no difficulty in following it to South Bend and the lake...
With these advantages before them, our citizens are asked to consider one of the conditions above named, which condition is that the right of way shall be furnished free to the new line thorugh our county. The estimated cost of this right of way is from $7,000 to $10,000 and it is proposed to raise the amount by subscription. A consideraable portion of this subscription has already been secured, and a committee appointed for that purpose will make an effort to raise the remainder during the present week...

1883 - Oct 6 - The Vandaiia railroad company commenced laying iron at Marmount a d ay or two ago, and-withln a short time the tract will be completed from Maxinkuckee lake to the Nickle Plate railroad, a distance of about three miles,- Logansport Pharos Tribune

Using the 1880 plat map crop the land has been annotated from - the words: "All in the south forty acres of the west half of Section 16, Town _, Range One East...; using this description and breaking it down - the red line marks the east and west section line of section 16; the blue line outlines the "south 40" and an estimated guess as to where the Kreuzberger Saloon is located laid in the "Blue Dot"

Thus the Kreuzberger property laid within the platted part of Marmont - and probably entailed most of what E. Parker owned in 1880 except the portion the Vandalia Railroad had acquired a long the lake front about 1882-3 for the railroad right-of-way.

Donna Dale stated in 1976 that: "they have no idea how old the building is, but they know the place was built before 1872 because of the land abstract they have". This could be true - but we do know that by the Vandalia Railroad records that the Vandalia Railroad reached Marmont on 30 June 1883 and before that time there was very littlle built in Marmont at that time as to hotels. But with the arrival of the railroad Lake Maxinkuckee's beauty and assets were discovered and shortly there after that excursions trains began arriving on a daily basis. Also the Chautauqua's came to the area between 1889 and 1907 bringing in even more people.

and found in a newspaper article of 1919 was The building was erected as much as 30 years ago [1889] by the Kreuzbergers of Logansport and was used as a saloon, bowling alley and summer garden up to about 11 years ago [1908] when saloons were voted out under the local option law.

NOTE: The building was erected by Anton Mayer as was originally Antone Mayer Beer Garden

Thus one can possibly assume that the hotel was either built to accommodate the men working to establish the railroad through the area before 1883 and for the railroad officials supervising the every day operations of the building and establishment of the rail line - or the hotel was built in anticipation of the railroad coming through which would be very risky and highly unlikely - or very soon after the railroad hit Marmont - on 30 June 1883 which could be more accurate. Another fact is that: Vandalia Addition was added on 13th of February 1884 by Peter Allerding. And also knowing that the Academy was Founded in July 1894 as Culver Academy by Henry H. Culver.
And if it was in existence when Robert Kreuzberger - bought it on 23 March 1894 - the stories of the upstairs being - "fancy ladies" may just be true - and possibly even after he had acquired it.

Kreuzberger's Park is said to have extended as far as to where Forrest Place is located, this is quite possible since by the division of the property given below it is stated: "All in the south forty of the West one half of Section 16, Town[ship] Range One East, which with other lands was deeded..." But we also know that the Vandalia Railroad had purchased part of this land for their tracks - and that they had established Vandalia Park sometime in 1883 yet another source says about 1890 and it encompassed an area of 3.2 acres .

The actual newspaper clip has been found

1894 - Mar 26 - Col Robert Kreuzberger has purchased the Antone Mayer Beer Garden at Lake Maxinkuckee and will place the same in charge of a competent manager. The garden contains three acres of improved land. The buildings are oa a modern style of architecture. Mr. Meyer residea at Terre Haute - Logansport Pharos Tribune

This is the area where the Kruezberger is located but there is no name anotated on the map and sheds no light on its existence.

Mark A. Roeder in his "A History of Culver and the Culver Military Academy" states that the Kreuzberger Hotel/Saloon was built in 1894 and is in the Italinate style. By the deed it was purchased 23 Mar 1894 by Robert Kreuzberger of Logansport, Indiana; 1894 - Mar 26 - Col Robert Kreuzberger has purchased the Antone Mayer Beer Garden at Lake MAxinkuckee and will place the same in charge of a competent manager.
