NPS Form 10 -900a <br />(8 -86) <br />United States Department of the Interior <br />National Park Service <br />National Register of Historic Places <br />Continuation Sheet <br />Section number 7 Page 1 <br />OMB Approval Na 1024-WIS <br />South Bend Brewing Association St. Joseph County IN <br />NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION <br />The former South Bend Brewing Association plant, opened in 1905, <br />faces the busy thoroughfare of West Lincolnway in an area of mixed' <br />residential, commercial, and light industrial use. Immediately <br />east (see photos 1,3) past a vacant lot are tracks of the <br />New York Central Railroad. To the west ,across College Street is - <br />the company's former bottling facility (photo 6), constructed in <br />1910- <br />The main plant, a large and irregularly shaped brick building, <br />rises approximately four stories at its main north facade (photos <br />1,2), which features squared corner towers west and east and a <br />crenelated parapet. A corbelled cornice runs along the front, and <br />each of the towers itself has a small tower at the outer corner <br />with a corbelled peak. The window openings, segmental and flat - <br />arched with limestone sills, are now almost all boarded; a few are <br />bricked. The original facade appears to have been rather plain; <br />today a one -story glass - paneled storefront added in the 1950s <br />dominates. Faded ghost signs from the 1960s are visible on the <br />entire facade above the storefront. The four -story section of the <br />building is trapezoidal, owing to the north side following the <br />parallel of Lincolnway, which angles west northwest out of town. <br />Along the east elevation (photo 3) the building becomes three <br />stories (but essentially the same height), then one; that portion <br />sports a large cylindrical brick smokestack. At the southwest of <br />that section (photo 4) is a somewhat higher one -story section with <br />a post -World War II addition. Within the L formed by the north <br />-and east elevations nestles another one -story section with a <br />loading dock; it features some Craftsman details, chiefly a hipped <br />roof with a wide overhang and knee braces. <br />The area of the original building behind the added storefront has <br />been used for numerous activities over the years and has been <br />remodeled a great deal on the first and second-floors. Beyond <br />that, however, the building's interior remains largely untouched. <br />The huge metal tank on the topmost level where the brewing process <br />began remains in place. These areas were not maintained for <br />decades, during which time generations of pigeons have called it <br />home. Virtually all the original window sashes that were removed <br />when the openings were boarded or bricked remain stacked inside. <br />
