Recommendation: This building should be saved. It could be <br />used as a small museum, visitors' center, office, etc. <br />The small, very old building along Lafayette St. (west side) <br />across from Transwestern should be reused as a city welcome <br />center with an adequate parking area for auto, RV and bus <br />traffic. Towns all across the country, many only a quarter <br />of our population, have visitor centers that are heavily <br />used and that are most informative. South Bend has never <br />had anything worthy of the name. <br />Use buildings No. 5, the Carpenter Shop, firestation, etc., <br />which are connected, as a living museum of the era of <br />Studebaker prior to their car -manufacturing period, and/or <br />as a reception and information center for the Studebaker <br />Corridor. <br />Borden Buildina <br />Agree with HPC study to retain Borden Building. <br />The Borden Building could be reused as a first rate <br />restaurant and/or theatre space. <br />Save the Borden Building, if possible (asbestos pollution <br />may cause a problem during demolition). <br />Southern Hotel <br />Recommendation: This building should be saved. Money <br />designated for demolition should be spent to repair roof, <br />windows, and to secure the building until a public use or <br />private developer can be identified. <br />The exterior of the building has interesting terra-cotta <br />facade detailing and a fine canopy on the north. The <br />building has a nice human scale and good proportions. <br />Demolishing the building would create a vacant lot on an <br />important corner, and severely damage what is left of the <br />architectural integrity in the immediate area. <br />An excellent condo complex could be developed in the <br />Southern Hotel. <br />The Southern Hotel can be easily marketed for transient <br />housing and medical facilities on the first floor, or as a <br />businessmen's hotel. <br />South Bend Foundry Office <br />The small former office building and the former very old <br />foundry are of landmark quality and well worth reusing. <br />
