The broken <br />light was one of the original "Parkview" lights, which the Cutter Light Coiiipany <br />designed specifically with this neighborhood in mind, though the lights were then <br />marketed generally. During its years of operation, the Cutter Light Company was an <br />important part of the South Bend community and economy. The company's designs, <br />innovative for their time, still typify what most people think of as decorative or <br />pedestrian -friendly lights <br />
