HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION <br />PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT <br />June. 15, 2015 <br />Hello Commission! <br />I hope all of you were able to attend the SB150/Memorial Day weekend event! It <br />was busy and exciting and glad it's over! However, we did receive a great deal of good <br />press with the Building South Bend virtual tour and model. <br />We had a SOLD OUT bus tour this past Saturday, yours truly had the honor of <br />guiding this tour and only ran a mere 15 minutes over. <br />If you are in the Edgewater Local Historic District, I would suggest going past <br />549 Edgewater as the re -opening of the front porch is all done but the paint. There's some <br />very nice work done there and a vast improvement from its former fagade. <br />I am attending the East Bank/Howard Park neighborhood meeting today to hear <br />from city officials (Jitin Kane -DCI) about the former Transpo Site, Howard Park, and <br />other projects around the city <br />This weekend was scheduled to be my presentation on cemetery symbolism <br />followed by a period of volunteer time to help clean stones. Unfortunately with all the <br />events going on around town, we currently do not have anyone signed up. As a result, we <br />will be postponing the lecture part to a later time perhaps to be part of the History <br />Museum or Studebaker Museum lecture series hopefully closer to Halloween. I will still <br />be out there weather permitting to perform head stone cleaning. If it rains, I will postpone <br />as I am using electric drills. <br />Thank you, <br />Steve Szaday <br />Preservation Specialist <br />
