STRICKLAND HOUSE 333 TONTI This Dutch Colonial Revival style house was built in 1920 by Elias Strickland, an employee of the legal department at Studebaker's. Shortly after completing the construction of this house it was sold, eventually being purchased by Leo and Adelia Cook. Mr. Cook wasa Notre Dame graduate who practiced law in South Bend in 1919 and served as Deputy Prosecutor from 1942 to 1947. He resided in this house until his death in 1965. DOMKE HOUSE 1313 LISTON Adele Domke, widow of blacksmith Frank Domke, constructed this Queen Anne style house in 1911. Mrs. Domke resided here until her death in 1948 at which time the house was inherited by her daughter, Clara Cordtz and her husband, James, a production manager for Oliver Corpo- ration. During this period the Commission also exerted a lot of time and energy into trying to save old Nuner and Washington Schools. The Historic Preservation Commission in a cooperative effort with the River Park Neighborhood Association and various local groups and contractors spent a majority of 2001 fighting to save and reuse both historic schools. However, despite our best efforts and that of the Association both schools were lost for ever.
