COMMENTS REGARDING <br />THE CHAPIN PARK LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT GUIDEBOOK <br />Carol Weiss Rosenberg <br />410 Manitou Place <br />South Bend, IN 46616 <br />574-232-6616 <br />7/12/05 <br />Note: Some of these comments are editorial, dealing with word choice, punctuation, and <br />grammar. Some have to do with philosophy or consistency. <br />Type style varies in the copy I printed out from the Internet. The committee might check <br />to be sure that type styles, bold, italics, etc., are consistent throughout. <br />My apologies in advance for typos below. Although I took time to peruse the document <br />word by word, I've been out of town, and since the deadline for comments is tomorrow, <br />I'm typing in haste. <br />The District and Its Properties — HISTORY <br />Paragraph 1 — Was it the "district's" purpose to do something, or the founders' purpose? <br />Par. 2 — "Residences are sited along CURVING brick streets..." Not necessarily— cf. <br />Manitou Pl., Forest, etc. SOME streets are curving. <br />Par. 2 — Write our "20`h Century" (Twentieth Century). Also, when that is used as an <br />adjective, add a hyphen: "...Twentieth -Century streetlights..." <br />Par. 3 Nineteenth Century <br />Par. 4 — "... teachers, artists, writers, musicians..." Was that really the population in the <br />Nineteenth Century? <br />Par. 4 — "enclaves" -- Is that the correct word? <br />Par. 4 - "...partners lived (not lives) in..." <br />Par. 4 — Remove the apostrophe in the family surnames. It is the Sibleys, not the <br />Sibley's, etc. <br />Par. 5 — "... connecting the Kankakee and (omit "the") Saint Joseph Rivers (add "s" to <br />end of "River.") <br />Par. 6 - Change 20`h to Twentieth -Century architectural.... Put comma before <br />"including" (throughout document) (twice in this paragraph) <br />
