1917 Cedar <br />Historical Context <br />This property is located on the northwest corner of Coquillard and Cedar Streets, <br />in South Bend, Indiana. It is described as being lots 194 and 195 of Coquillard <br />Woods Addition of South Bend. <br />This brick, Tudor Revival style house was built in 1927 by the Coquillard Land <br />Company, a real estate development group founded by Fred Smith and Gallus <br />Bader of Whiting, Indiana. Upon its completion the house was sold to William <br />Steinmetz, the manager of the General Asbestos and Supply Company and <br />founder of the Midland Engineering Company. Mr. Steinmetz resided at this <br />address until 1936 when ownership of the property reverted to the Metropolitan <br />Life Insurance Company, who sold the house that same year to Charles D. Hoyt. <br />Mr. Hoyt was born in Mishawaka in 1887, apprenticed at the Dodge Brothers <br />Factory in Mishawaka and later became foreman at the crankshaft division of the <br />Packard Motor Corporation in Detroit. Charles held this position until 1919 <br />when he returned to South Bend to briefly occupy the position of foreman for <br />Studebakers engine division. Mr. Hoyt resigned this position in 1921 to found <br />the Charles D. Hoyt Screw Machine Factory in Indianapolis. He relocated the <br />factory to the former South Bend Watch Factory in 1937. Mr. Hoyt retired in <br />1940 and was replaced as President by his son, Charles Hoyt Jr. Mr. Hoyt and <br />his wife continued to reside at this address until 1949 when they sold the house <br />to their son Charles Jr., and his wife Jean. They lived in this house until 1962 <br />when it was sold to John and Geraldine Megee. <br />Mr. Megee was an assistant investment officer for First Bank and Trust Company <br />of South Bend. He and his wife resided here until 1967 when he sold the house <br />to Nancy Gillis and her husband, Peter. Mr. Gillis was a realtor, he and his wife <br />owned the house until 1993 when they sold it to the current owners, Kevin and <br />Wendy Page. <br />2 9 <br />'006 <br />
