legal description <br /> 55 feet x 150 feet <br /> B0L 34 <br /> 18-1024-1040 <br /> historical notes <br /> This two-story Builder/Queen Anne house has been moved twice, first in 1914 and again <br /> in 1983. The original address and owner of this house is unknown. However it may have <br /> been located at 434 or 436 N. Lafayette. In 1914 George Omacht moved the house to <br /> 218 W. Marion. Omacht appears to have purchased the house c.1893 and used it for <br /> income purposes. (Omacht owned 3 or 4 houses on the same lot and from 1894-c.1914 lived <br /> at 432 N. Lafayette) . The house remained in the Omacht family for several years after it <br /> was moved to Marion. <br /> George Omacht was one of South Bend's largest cigar manufacturers between c.1884 and 1916. <br /> In 1983 the South Bend Lodge of Perfection, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Free Masonry; <br /> donated the house to Southhold Heritage Foundation, Inc. contingent upon moving the <br /> house from 218 W. Marion. The house was moved to 716 W. Colfax, the wooden porch and <br /> steps were repaired and all new materials duplicated the original. <br />
