finally stopped when the school system turned out all the lights altogether, so that the vandals could not see what they, were doing. Homeowners probably do need lighting to get from their garages to their doors, and therefore might need yard lights not in use prior to 1930. These, however, would generally be in back yards, rather than front yards. Where the combination of street lights and porch or door lights is not sufficient (for instance, around the Junior League House on Park Lane), the HPC has consistently approved in -ground or landscape lights, on the condition that they be directed so as not to disturb or inconvenience neighbors. In addition to several residences, such lights have been approved for the County Courthouse and the Firehouse Theatre. There are several houses, especially on East Wayne Street, and West North Shore Drive, where front yards are larger, where front yard lights were installed during the post world War Il period. A couple of them are re -made from old South Bend City Street lights. Some of those yard lights are now themselves 50 years old or so, and may possibl be considered contributing additions, themselves. Yard lights became fashionable in the 1950s and 1960s, and, in some areas, remained fashionable into the 1970s and 1980s. In all of our local historic districts, I have identified only three houses built during that period, for which front yard lights would be appropriate to the architectural style of the individual house (though not the style of the district environment). Those are: 234 Sunnyside Avenue, in the East Wayne Street District, which is a 1953 Neo -Colonial Revival style house, and the two ranch houses 341 and 433 West North Shore Drive, built in 1949 and 1975, respectively. On a separate, but related matter: Jerry Kline, of the West North Shore local historic district has called it to our attention that (a) their district is under lighted, and (b) the fact that it is under lighted was noted in the guidelines originally drawn for that district, which also made note of the concrete octagonal 12 -foot light posts, with octagonal lantern -style luminaires, (Octagonal Junior Post Top street lights, see p. 18 of the guideline book, and also the sections on landscape, p. 34 to 39, and street lighting, p. 43) would be appropriate, and should be sought, for the district. I understand the sentiment of the neighborhood generally to be that the city monies which might otherwise go towards yard light grants in their district, should be expended for appropriate street lighting, as described in their district guideline book.
