NPS Form 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 10240018 <br />(8-90 <br />• United States Department of the Interior <br />National Park Service <br />National Register of Historic Places <br />Continuation Sheet <br />Section number 8 Page 5 Dille/Probst House, St. Joseph County, Indiana <br />10) and pocket doors (photo 8), and very few alterations were made. The alterations that <br />were made were simply to comply with handicapped accessibility code, but were <br />completed in keeping with the Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation <br />(photos 2, 9, and 10). <br />Although the fact that the Dille/Probst House has been moved causes concern about its <br />integrity of site, the integrity of the original site had been lost prior to the move (photo <br />11). The house was situated in the 300 block of North Hill Street and was the only <br />remaining historic building on the east side of the street; the only other structure being a <br />one story, concrete block car wash. On the west side of Hill Street, there are four older <br />houses, all of which are covered with artificial siding (a billboard nearly obliterates the <br />side of the corner house), two historic commercial buildings, a former gas station <br />converted to a business, and two vacant lots. The two corners just north in the 400 block <br />are the site of another parking lot and an industrial building. <br />On its current site, the Dille/Probst House is flanked by a residence on the west side and <br />a small, turn -of -the -century commercial building on the east side, both similar to what <br />existed near the original site. In addition, although a new foundation was constructed, <br />guidelines indicated by the State Historical Architect at the Indiana Division of Historic <br />Preservation and Archaeology were followed in its design. <br />The Dille/Probst House is an extremely intact example of a modest Queen Anne style <br />residence with Eastlake detail seen nowhere else in St. Joseph County. It is constructed <br />of yellow Notre Dame brick produced locally and is the most stylistically significant of the <br />five residences done in that material. Built two stories high plus a hipped roof, it stood <br />out as the home of a prominent family in a neighborhood of modest homes. Rated 12 <br />(or notable) out of a possible 13 on the St. Joseph County Sites and Structures Inventory, <br />the building is a very significant and unique architectural resource to the area. <br />• <br />
