ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This publication was made possible by the dedication and perseverance of many individuals and organizations that have contributed to the creation and implementation of the historic districts program in the city of South Bend, and specifically the designation and implementation of the Chapin Park Local Historic District. The Chapin Park Local Historic District was conceived by the cooperative efforts of property owners, residents and members of the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County. In 2000, the Park Avenue Neighborhood Association Board (now called the Chapin Park Neighborhood Association) submitted the application for designation and worked with the HPC Historic Districts Committee to draft guidelines for the district. Subsequent members of the Chapin Park Board and property owners continued to work for the designation of the District in 2004 and 2005. In 2005, the Chapin Park Guidelines Committee again reviewed the guidelines and standards in this booklet. The members of the Historic Preservation Commission at the date of desig- nation were: Lynn Patrick, President; Martha Choitz, Vice-President; Mary Jane Chase, Secretary; John Oxian, Treasurer; Joann Sporleder, Architectural Historian; Catherine Hostetler, Jerry Ujdak and Diane Wrobel-Illes. The mem- bers of the HPC Historic Districts Committee were: Martha Choitz, Jerry Ujdak, Mary Jane Chase and Diane Wrobel-Illes. The drawings of the Chapin House found on the cover and on page 64 were kindly submitted for reproduction by Lou Sabo, an artist and photographer who lives in the District. Robert Sedlack, another resident of the District, cre- ated the Chapin Park Historic District logo on page 63. Bev Petersen, a local genealogist, researched many of the properties in Chapin Park and laid the foundation for much of the building inventory text. Most of the technical illustrations have been excerpted from the Preservation Briefs series published by the Preservation Assistance Division of the National Parks Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Some technical illustrations are from the 1978 publication by the Preservation League of New York, A Primer: Preservation for the Property Owner. This publication was typeset by Chris Manley and printed by Rink Printing of South Bend, Indiana.
