Patrick, President v <br />Historic Preservation Commission of <br />South Bend & St. Joseph County <br />227 West Jefferson Blvd. TI <br />South Bend, IN 46601-1830 <br />Dear Ms. Patrick, <br />Re: Studebaker Plant Security Building No. 30, 637 Lafayette St, South Bend, IN <br />As Secretary, I have been directed by The Michiana Chapter of the Studebaker Drivers <br />Club to update you with our decision regarding the stabilization and restoration of the <br />Studebaker Plant Security Building as a club project. <br />While considering this project, numerous members had the opportunity to tour and <br />assess the structure. We were also provided with detailed information from your advisor, <br />Bob Yapp, as to the extent of repairs required and their estimated costs. <br />Though many were intrigued with the possibilities, following lengthy discussion, as of <br />our November 6, 2005 Membership meeting, we as a club have decided not to pursue <br />the project, due to both the financial and labor commitments such an endeavor would <br />incur. <br />It is still our sincere hope that the city, some other person and/or group will be able to <br />save this historic structure. There are precious few remaining tangible links to this part of <br />Studebaker history. <br />Should you need any further information, please feel free to contact me at your <br />convenience. <br />Respec ull�, <br />Michael Lepa <br />Chapter Secretary <br />Cc: John Oxian, Chapter President <br />Chapter File <br />MICHAEL "MICKEY" LEPAY, CHAPTER SECRETARY i <br />1 934 BEVERLY PLACE, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 466 1 6-20 1 O <br />�' TELE: 547.233.91 63, E-MAIL: MLEPAYC@SBCGLOBAL.NET <br />
