Washington Dear Mr. Klusezinski, We are writing today seeking Local Landmark designation for 803 W. Washington. Known historically as the William Kizer House, the outstanding Romanesque style home is a community and neighborhood landmark and the home of one of South Bend's leading businessmen of his time. Indiana Landmarks supports the work of historic preservation commissions around the State as a tool for local communities to promote and protect their special places. We can think of no more worthy property for designation than the Kizer House and no better commission for such oversight than that Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County. We are interested in moving the designation through at the earliest convenience of the Commission. We are pleased to provide copies of our research that has been completed on the property or architectural background information as is helpful. Thank you for prompt attention to our request. We look forward to working with you, the members of the Commission and your staff to complete this important honor. Sincerely, Todd A. Zeiger Director, Northern Regional Office CC.
