Architect Electus D. Litchfield originally won the design competition for the building, but was later replaced by local architect Arthur Bohn of Vonnegut & Bohn, who supervised design and construction work for the Chicago firm Holabird & Roche.[1] The building served as an office tower from its 1916 completion until 1992, when the structure was vacated by its last commercial tenant, Bank One.[1] The Fletcher Trust Building then underwent a renovation into a hotel in 1996 and reopened as the Ramada Waterbury Indianapolis Hotel in late 1996.[1] The structure was renovated again in 2003 and subsequently reopened as a 188-room Hilton Garden Inn hotel.

According to the Indianapolis Business Journal, the Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis Downtown has 100 full-time employees and was last renovated in 2018. As of 2020, one dining option was located in the hotel, including the Garden Grille & Bar.[3]
