Historic Districts <br />467 <br />468 MARTHA CHOITZ: This is in regards to Dismas House at 521 S. St. Joseph <br />469 Street. Ever since last fall we have been meeting with them to guide them in the <br />470 restoration of that very lovely house. I have been getting the people with interest in the <br />471 place to give their opinions. The last meeting we held was with Todd Zieger and Ron <br />472 Zmyslo that went through the house. They were very pleased and will be sending me a <br />473 report on their findings tomorrow. We have also been trying to inform the owners of <br />474 sources for funding and I think they are starting to understand what a special house they <br />475 have. <br />476 <br />477 2.

Nuner School — 2716 Vine Street — Interim Protection <br />490 <br />491 JOHN OXIAN: We would like to discuss the need for interim protection for Nuner <br />492 School, located at 2716 Vine Street and ask the Commission to approve such an action. <br />493 When the South Bend School Corporation decided it was going to discontinue use of the <br />494 Old Nuner School I had a meeting with Fred Stump to discuss the future of various <br />495 school building, mainly Muessel and Nuner. At this meeting I was told that Muessel was <br />496 going to be demolished because the new school was going to be built in the same area <br />497 and Old Nuner School would be retained for neighborhood uses. If a change in the <br />498 situation was to occur, in regards to Old Nuner, then the Commission, namely myself <br />499 would be informed of the change and discussion would occur, this did not happen. <br />500 School City did know that the Commission sought landmark status for this school <br />501 because of its architecture and its historical significance as part of River Park, which was <br />502 at one time a separate town. <br />11 <br />
