NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION AMENDMENT STAFF REPORT <br />PROPERTY Remedy Building <br />501 W. Colfax <br />South Bend, IN. 46601 <br />OWNER Historic Landmarks Foundation <br />914 LWW <br />South Bend, IN. 46616 <br />STANDARDS <br />The nomination amendment proposes placement of these building on a new site with in <br />the same National Register District, W. Washington. To retain National Register status <br />the Commission must review the move and the new location to ascertain that the building <br />will still meet the National Register of Historic Places Criterion, namely criterion C and <br />A: design construction and association with events. <br />National Register Bulletin 15 — How to AUply the National Register Criteria for <br />Evaluation provides that "Properties may be eligible for the National Register if they <br />embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction..." <br />These characteristics are further described as "The pattern of features common to a <br />particular category of resources." <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Staff of the HPC recommends in favor of the relocation of the Remedy Building, <br />currently located at 501 W. Washington, South Bend, Indiana, to the southwest corner of <br />Franklin and Washington Streets, also in South Bend. The new location will only <br />enhance the beauty of the structure and its history by placing it closer to downtown and <br />situating it on the site in such a way to best display the corner turret. The building will <br />still meet National Register Criterion C and A as exemplary of the Queen Anne style of <br />architecture and its association with early medicine and the Remedy Company. <br />The building is a well - preserved example of Queen Anne style of commercial <br />architecture in an urban setting. It is considered architecturally significant for its <br />excellently preserved representation of characteristics associated with Queen Anne <br />architecture of this era, including brick walls, dressed stone string course, garland and <br />torch stone carved frieze and second story corner turret with a decorative bay of arched <br />arcade windows, floral limestone carved base and garland frieze. Since its construction <br />in 1895, the building has been moved from its original location on LaSalle Street to the <br />northwest corner of W. Colfax and William Streets in 1988. The structure has remained <br />vacant for the past thirteen years. <br />The building is considered historically significant by its association with one of Americas <br />premier mail order drug companies, the Remedy Company, and as the only structure of <br />its type or style remaining in South Bend. <br />
