APPENDIX "A" 2-86
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
OF
SOUTH BEND & ST. JOSEPH COUNTY
SITE INSPECTION REPORT
107 Greenlawn
DATE: February 5, 1986
INSPECTOR(S): Karen K i emnec , Elizabeth straw
DESCRIPTION: The building at 107 Greenlawn consists of the original
two and a half story residence with additions of a
chapel and a novitiate, now a school, to the front of
the structure. The original residence, a Period Revival
structure built in 1909 and remodeled in 1928, is
covered with brick and has a slate roof. The additions
are of modern construction (1959) and have little or no
ornamentation. A large iron fence surrounds the
property that covers most of a city block.
• REMARKS: 107 Greenlawn, originally known as 1701 E. Jefferson,
has undergone several alterations. Major alterations
occur•ed in 1959 with the addition of the novitiate and
chapel to the front of the house. At the same time the
original residence, which was stucco, was covered with
brick to match the new additions. The staff believes
that with the exterior changes that have occured to the
building that the structure should not receive Landmark
designation. However, the current owners, the People of
Praise, should be commended for their• effort to restore
the interior and their upkeep of the exterior of the
building.
The fence that surrounds the property may be eligible
for landmark designation since there are only a few
examples of iron fences of this type in South Bend. The
fence surrounds the entire block bounded by Jefferson,
Greenlawn, Esther, and Colfax and if landmark
designation for it is sought, the entire fence should be
included. All property owners on the block would need
to be notified of the proposed designation.

107 S. Greenlawn
7-37-3E Adj. Jefferson Park
HISTORY CONTINUED
In 1958 The Sisters of `t. Joseph undertook a large building program. The gates
on Jefferson Boulevard v. -ere closed and the address was changed to Greenlawn. A
chapel and novitate were added to the front of the house and the house was
covered in brick to match the new additions. The swimming pool built by Bendix
was removed and a garage was built in its place.
•
historical notes
The original house of this large estate at 107 South Greenlawn was constructed in
1908-10 for Clement Studebaker, Jr. It was designed by South Bend architects,
Austin & Shambleau. The property had been purchased by the Studebaker family in 1877.
•
Clement Studebaker,Jr. was born Aug. 17, 1887 in South Bend, the youngest son of
Clement Studebaker, the founder of the Studebaker Manufacturing Company. He graduated
from Northwestern Universtiy and went to work for his father, and becoming treasurer
and second vice-president in 1901. He married Alice Rhawn, of Philadelphia, on April 27,
1893.
After their wedding they lived in Tippecanoe Place and later in the former Clement
Studebaker home which had been moved from Tippecanoe Place to 202 S. Scott St. In 1910,
they moved into their new house on Greenlawn, at that time having a 1701 E. Jefferson
address.
In the 1920's Mr. Studebaker resigned from the presidency of the Studebaker Mfg. Co.
and in 1927 they moved to Chicago, to live at 1500 Lake Shore Drive. During the last
10 years of his life Mr. Studebaker became president of the North American Power and
Light Company. He died on December 3, 1932.
After the Studebaker's moved to Chicago they sold this house in 1928 to Vincent
Bendix, founder of the Bendix Corporation. Born in Moline, Illinois, in 1882, he
moved with his family to Chicago, and in 1898, he moved to New York. During the
Following 20 years he worked in numerous jobs and moved to South Bend in 1919, at the.age
of 37. By 1923 he had established the Bendix Corporation to make automobile brakes de-
signed by a French engineer.
After purchasing this house from the Studebakers in 1928 he began an elaborate remodeling
of -the house. That year he also purchased the Potter Palmer mansion in Chicago, and the
next year, an ocean -front house in Palm Beach, Florida. He named his South Bend house
Chateau Bendix, installed a wrought iron fence, built a new swimming pool and converted
the old one into a sunken garden, expanded the golf course, and turned the riding stables 40
into a bowling alley.
In 1939, Mr. Bendix declared bankruptcy, and in 1942 he resigned from his Corporation. The
following year this house was sold to the Sister's of the Order of St. Joseph, who
e_an_d__ L -_,ed it- as _a__convent.

Dear Ms. Sporleder:
February 5, 1986
219/284-9241
Recently we have made some reassignments among the attorneys on the
City Attorney's staff for legal representation of various City
boards, commissions, and agencies.
David C. Chapleau, Deputy City Attorney, has been assigned as legal
counsel for City of South Bend matters to the Historic Preservation
Commission. Mr. Chapleau has served and continues to serve as the
attorney for the South Bend Board of Zoning Appeals and has become
familiar with many of the issues underlying considerations by the
Commission. In addition, Eugenia Schwartz will continue to assist
Mr. Chapleau to make the transition of legal counsel a smooth one
from the Commission's point of view.
Mr. Chapleau will meet with Karen Kiemnec prior to your next
Commission meeting and will be available to assist the Commission
and its staff on a regular basis.
Very truly yours,
Richard L. Hill

294 RULES OF ORDER 1306
2) In organizations such as many churches or some soy-
cieties in which there are no required or effective '
annual dues and the register of members is not ges-
erally reliable as a list of the bona fide members, the
quorum at any regular or properly called meeting
consists of those who attend.
3) In a body of delegates, such as a convention, the q%w
rum is a majority of the number who have been rte-
istered as attending, irrespective of whether some m+7►
have departed. This may differ greatly from the nous
ber elected or appointed.
4) In any other deliberative assembly with enrolled mew
bership whose bylaws do not specify a quorum, tiro::'
quorum is a majority of all the members.
To accomplish their work, voluntary societies that hate
an enrolled membership generally need a provision in dwk
bylaws establishing a relatively small quorum --consider-
ably less than a majority of all the members. In most so&
organizations, it is rarely possible to Obtain the attendance
of a majority of the membership at a meeting. Sometirmes
the specification of a quorum is based on a percentage of
the membership; but such a method has the disadvantapr;
of requiring recomputation and may lead to confusion—gyp
example, when the secretary, or other officer who is is ;s
position to certify as to the current number of members foe,
purposes of the percentage calculation, is absent. There *,,
no single number or percentage of members that will bi
equally suitable as a quorum in all societies. The quonak
should be as large a number of members as can reasot%&
be depended on to be present at any meeting, except in yr
bad weather or other exceptionally unfavorable condition
NOTE ON PROCEDURE IN CHANGING QUORUM PROVISION IN WV!
LAws. If it becomes necessary to change the quorum prnr
sion in a society's bylaws, care should be taken, because 19F
the rule is struck out first, the quorum will instantly beco ee
a majority of the membership, so that in many cases a goon
QUORUM 295
rum could not be obtained to adopt a new rule. The proper
procedure is to strike out the old provision and insert the
mew provision, which is made and voted on as One question.
QUORUM IN BOARDS AND COMMITTEES. In a committee of
the whole or its variations (51), the quorum is the same as
in the assembly unless the rules of the assembly or the or-
ganization (that is, either its bylaws or its rules of order)
specify otherwise. In all other committees and in boards,
the quorum is a majority of the members of the board or
committee unless a different quorum is fixed: (a) by by-
laws, in the case of a board or standing committee that they
specifically establish; or (b) by the rules of the assembly or
„ organization or by the motion establishing the particular
l f a committee that is not expressly
Committee, in the case o
s. A bard or committee does not
havel he power to determine is quorum
estabished by the bylaw unless the bylaws
to provide.
PROCEEDINGS OF A QUORUM. In the absence
AOCE£DINGS IN THE ABSENCE
of a quorum, any business transacted (except far the actions
torted in the next paragraph) is null and void. In such a case,
It is the business that is illegal, however, not the meeting;
to be
W thus, if the society's rules require the
detractslf from the
-add, the absence of a quorum in no way
#xtt that the rules were complied with and the meeting was
t1d—even though it had to adjourn immediately.
The only action that can legally be taken in the absence
of a quorum is to fix the time to which to adjourn (22), ad-
(21), recess (20), or take measures to obtain a quo-
tnm. In the last category, a motion that absent members be
"contacted during a recess and asked to attend would repre-
;fent such a measure. In assemblies having the power to
compel attendance, a Call of the House can be ordered (see
below). The prohibition against transacting business in the
absence of a quorum cannot be waived even by unanimous en.
Consent, and a notice (p. 100) cannot be validly g'
ere is important business that should not be delayed, the
there
296 RULES OF ORDER 639. #39' QUORUM 297
meeting should fix the time for an adjourned meeting and
then adjourn. Where an important opportunity would be
lost unless acted upon immediately, the members present
can, at their own risk, act in the emergency with the hope
that their action will be ratified by a later meeting at which
a quorum is present. If a committee of the whole funds
itself without a quorum, it can do nothing but rise and
report to the assembly, which can then proceed as already
described, in this paragraph. A quasi committee of the whole
or a meeting in informal consideration of a question can
itself take any of the four actions permitted an assembly in
the absence of a quorum, but a quasi committee of the
whole is thereby ended. (See 51.)
Manner of Enforcing Quorum Requirement
Before the presiding officer -calls a meeting to order, it is
his duty to determine, although he need not announce, that
a quorum is present. If a quorum is not present, the chair
waits until there is one, or until, after a reasonable tines,
there appears to be no prospect that a quorum will assem-
ble. If a quorum cannot be obtained, the chair calls the meet-
ing to order, announces the absence of a quorum, and enter-
tains a motion to adjourn or one of the other motions
allowed, as described above.
When the chair has called a meeting to order after findint
that a quorum is present, the continued presence of a quo-
rum is presumed unless the chair or a member notices that
a quorum is no longer present. If the chair notices the ab-
sence of a quorum, it is his duty to declare the fact, at least
before taking any vote or stating the question on any new
motion—which he can no longer do except in conneetim
with the permissible proceedings related to the absence of a
quorum, as explained above. Any member noticing the sp-,
parent absence of a quorum can make a point of order b
that effect at any time so long as he does not interrupt a
person who is speaking. Debate on a question already.
pending can be allowed to continue at length after a quo-
rum is no longer present, however, until a member raises the
point. Because of the difficulty likely to be encountered in
determining exactly how long the meeting has been without
a quorum in such cases, a point of order relating to the
absence of a quorum is generally not permitted to affect
prior action; but upon clear and convincing proof, such a
point of order can be given effect retrospectively by a ruling
of the presiding officer, subject to appeal (24)
Call of the House
In legislative bodies or other assemblies that have legal
POW
er to compel the attendance of their members, a proce-
dure that can be used to obtain a quorum, if necessary, is
the motion for a Call of the House. This is a motion that un -
excused absent members be brought to the meeting under
wrest. A Call of the House is not applicable in voluntary
societies.
Assemblies in which there may be occasion to order a
Call of the House should adopt a rule governing this motion
and providing that if one third, one fifth, or some other
number less than a majority of the members or members -
elect are present, they can order a Call of the House by a
majority vote. When a quorum is not present, this motion
should take precedence over everything except a motion to
Adjourn (21). If the rule allows the call to be moved while a
quorum is actually present (for the purpose of. obtaining a
greater attendance), the motion at such times should rank
y; only with questions of privilege, should require a majority
vote for adoption, and, if rejected, should not be allowed to
be renewed while a quorum is present.

South Bend, IN 46601
Dear John:
As you know, in 1985 Riverside Drive from Lafayette to Angela Blvd. was designated
a local district. The area is a cohesive, intact early twentieth century neighborhood
and its residents are committed to retaining its historic characteristics.
Although the district has several styles of historic streetlights, they blend with the
many historic architectural styles which are represented. In the last year, some
of the historic lights have been replaced with fiberglass poles and contemporary
luminaires at the following locations:
• 1. the southwest corner of Riverside Drive and Park Avenue
2. on the north side of Riverside Drive in front of 962 Riverside
3. on the north side of Riverside across the street from 1007
4. on the north side of Riverside across from 1025.
Mr. Joe Pluta, of your office, indicated that the historic streetlights which were
recently removed from along Angela Blvd. will be stored by the city for use as
replacements in historic districts as needed. Would it be possible to have the
four fiberglass streetlights indicated above, replaced with the streetlights that
originally stood on Angela Blvd?
Please call our office if you need further information. We look forward to hearing
from you on this matter.
Sincerely,
Joann Sporleder
