Weaver Uruck and Cquipment Company <br />3700 SOUTH GERTRUDE STREET • P. O. BOX 5 * SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46624 • PHONE 219 / 288-8304 <br />Historic Preservation Commission <br />11th Floor County City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Re: Southern Hotel <br />Gentlemen: <br />I am the owner of the Southern Hotel building at 802 South Main <br />St. here in South Bend, Indiana. I purchased the building in <br />1984 with the intention of having it restored for use as an <br />efficiency hotel or apartment building. I was impressed with the <br />quality of the construction, and being aware of the City's desire <br />to improve the near south side of the City, I felt the <br />restoration of this fine structure would contribute to that <br />improvement. <br />Interest has been shown by others to restore the Southern for the <br />use mentioned, but I have learned that such interest is on "hold" <br />due to rumors circulating about possible demolition by the City. <br />I feel that this historically significant building is endangered, <br />and respectfully request that it be declared an historical <br />landmark. <br />Very truly yours, <br />William J. Weaver <br />WJW:af <br />
