In 1864, Mr. Birdsell's factory in New York was destroyed by fire. He determined to move west and settle in South Bend. In 1870 the Birdsell Manufacturing Company was formed and a five -story brick factory building was erected. At the time it was the largest factory building in South Bend. The company enjoyed the distinction of having the largest clover huller factory in the world. The Birdsell Clover Huller was one of the important implements of early farming in the Midwest. Joseph Benjamin Birdsell was born in Monroe County, New York, December 2, 1844 to John Comley and Harriet Lunt Birdsell. At the age of 19 he began working in the office of his father's establishment. When the Birdsell Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1870, Mr. J.B. Birdsell was made treasurer. After the death of his father in 1894, Mr. Birdsell was chosen president and treasurer of the company in which capacity he served until his death in 1906. Joseph Benjamin Birdsell and Olive Tarbell Birdsell purchased Bank Out Lot 15 in 1897 for $8,800.00. They hired architect Wilson Parker to design the house. Parker came to South Bend in 1892 and entered into partnership with Ennis R. Austin. The home was completed in 1899 and the Birdsells took up immediate residence. J.B. Birdsell retired from the Birdsell Manufacturing Company in the spring of 1906 and died September of that same year at age 61. His widow, a son, and two daughters survived him. Mrs. Birdsell continued to reside at 511 W. Colfax until the Income Guarantee Company took possession of the property in 1928 and remodeled the house into offices. It was sold in 1955 to Damon Burford, H.J. Alley and Sophia C. Alley. The property was sold again in 1959 to L.R. Building Corporation. In 1960 the building housed the offices of attorney F. Jay Nimtz. Nimtz was a lifetime resident of South Bend. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1941 and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel. He was decorated by seven nations for his service during World War II. Mr. Nimtz was a longtime civic leader and was elected to the U.S. Congress in 1956. He was the president of South Bend Redevelopment Commission from 1974 until his death in 1990. Dr. Len Trevino purchased the building in 1994 and sold it to the current owner, Tamara Sexton in 1999. RECOMMENDATION The Preservation Guidelines for Local Landmarks follow the Rehabilitation Model. Group B Standards The applicant is requesting to remove all asphalt except for one driveway and replace it with sod and four or more trees. The staff finds the proposed removal of asphalt and the planting of trees and grass to be a wonderful idea that will help soften the environment around the house, thus, aiding in returning the residential feel to the home. The staff recommends approval of the application. 2 b � ��,f, � - --� �, 8p�,��Hw '�.�mm •o k zs>...ar ' 4.6'�"Ti„�' _. _ '°,„r�Sw�1 $” .,.

Lafayette Property Owner: St. Joseph County Landmark or District Designation: LL Rating: 0/13 RECOMMENDATION The Preservation Guidelines for Local Landmarks follow the Rehabilitation Model. Group B Standards The applicant is requesting to install "monumental" lighting on the roof of the existing 1855 Courthouse, four (4) #95V-10005 fixtures, 30 in. high and 1000 watts. The fixture color is DNA Natural Aluminum to match the adjacent stainless -steal roof. The staff finds that the proposed lights detract and disrupt the visible unity or overall appearance of the courthouse. They are too large causing them to be extremely visible from ever fagade of the building except the rear. The staff would prefer that the structure not be lit then to leave these garish lights in place, thus, staff recommends denial of the application.

Lafayette Property Owner: St. Joseph County Landmark or District Designation: LL Rating: 0/13 RECOMMENDATION The Preservation Guidelines for Local Landmarks follow the Rehabilitation Model. Group B Standards The applicant is requesting to alter the plans previously approved by the Commission. The owner would like to install raised wood panel transom above east entry storefront, in place of the previously approved spandrel glass transom. The new transom profile will emulate the existing west entry detail. The proposed raised panel transom would look more appropriate above the rear entry then glass. Nowhere else on the exterior of this courthouse are there glass transoms. The new transom would look identical to the front entrance and will help assimilate the new with the old. The staff recommends approval of the application. PILASTER BEYOND V.I.F.

Michigan Property Owner: South Bend Water Works Landmark or District Designation: LL Rating: 0/13 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT Well-known local architects, Freyermuth and Maurer, drew up the plans for the present North Pump Station on August 30, 1912. This firm preserved an earlier foundation on the northwest side of the present structure, which dates to 1892. Work on the new building began in 1910 when local engineer, William S. Moore, built a 6,000,000 -gallon reinforced concrete reservoir. Freyermuth and Maurer's 1912 building was constructed for the cost of $250,000.00 and was equipped with a 7"x175" reinforced concrete stack, a brick suction well, 20 additional supply wells and steam pumping engines. The suction well was subsequently replaced by a modern reservoir and the steam pumps were replaced by electricity, thus, leaving most of the pumping station empty. RECOMMENDATION The Preservation Guidelines for Local Landmarks follow the Rehabilitation Model. Group B Standards The applicant is requesting to dig two new test wells in Leeper Park. The wells will be approximately 12" in diameters and 150' deep. One will be located on the island, 250' north of the bridge; the other will be located 430' off Michigan Street and 20' off Riverside Drive. Staff recommends approval of the application with the understanding that no trees are to be removed.

By 1898 they were living in this two-story Queen Style house. Frank Stephenson was born in South Bend in 1861, son of Amos Stephenson founder of A.T. Stephenson and Sons, a plumbing and well drilling business, which later manufactured wood pumps and woodturnings. The four Stephenson brothers purchased A.C. Staley Manufacturing Company and changed its name to the Stephenson Underwear Mills. Frank Stephenson was the president of the family business until his death in 1929. Mary Cutler -Stephenson was born in Iowa in 1860 and married Frank in 1893. The Stephenson's resided at this address until 1913, after which they used the house as a rental. Mary owned the house until 1938 when she sold it to William Payton and moved to California. William Payton was born in Wabash in 1894 and moved to South.Bend in 1934. He was an orchestra leader for over 20 years, retiring in 1940. William resided in this house with his wife, Della, until 1947 at which time the building was divided into four apartments. Mr. Payton occupied one of the units until his death in 1981. A year later the house was sold to John Freidline. Mr. Freidline rented the apartments out until 1986 when he sold it to Brook House, who in turn sold it to the current owners, Dismas Inc., in 1989. Dismas restored the house and use it as a home for ex -offenders and local college students. RECOMMENDATION The Preservation Guidelines for Taylor's Field Local Historic District follow the Rehabilitation Model. The applicant is requesting to install vinyl siding on the upper portion of the house, covering only the clapboards. All architectural details, and windows would be left untouched. The guidelines for Taylor's Field state that original exterior building material shall be retained. The guidelines also state that such material when deteriorated beyond repair can be replaced or covered over with metal or vinyl siding as long as the siding resembles the original surface material and is the same size as the existing clapboards. The standards also stipulate that original trim around doors, windows etc, as well as all architectural detail should be retained. The staff has been to the site and notes that the paint is peeling off exposing some dry rotted wood siding. However, the overall condition of the wood siding appears to be in fairly good condition. The proposal would be sensitive to the structure in that it would not cover the window trim or any architectural detail. Nevertheless, the staff is hesitant to recommend approval of this project for fear that it may set a precedent for the district. The staff recommends denial of the application unless the owner can prove that the wood is beyond repair or cost prohibitive to maintain. 2 LEFT SIDE RIGHT SIDE Dismas of, iichh naNDismas House `An extmrdin*q jaumey in reeund"doni* ""WRY BOA1tD T.

Lafayette Property Owner: South Bend Community School Corp Landmark or District Designation: LL Rating: S/11 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT This school was built in 1930 by the South Bend Community School Corporation. Prominent local architects, Austin & Shambleau, designed the building and the construction contract was awarded to H.G. Christman & Company. The school was dedicated in February of 1930 during a ceremony to honor the memory of Miss Winona Dodd, principal of the Old School. The building accommodated 600 students and was completed at a cost of $275,000.00. This is the third James Madison School, the first being built in 1862 at the northwest corner of Lafayette and Madison which was replaced in 1893 by a red brick Romanesque style schoolhouse. The second school building was used as offices until 1948 when it was demolished to make way for the Temple Beth -El. RECOMMENDATION The Preservation Guidelines for Local Landmarks follow the Rehabilitation Model. Group B Standards The applicant is requesting large-scale renovations of the existing building, construction of a new addition and demolition of boiler room, (see attachments for complete project). The staff recommends approval of the project as presented on September 7, 2000 by architect, John Arndt, with the discussed alterations to the Efco window as well as the retention of one set of original windows. The proposed addition will be sensitive in style and size to the existing building and bricks and stone will be salvaged and reused where needed from the demolition of the boiler building. The plan also encompasses the installation of new playground areas and parking, all of which will be nicely landscaped with numerous trees, shrubs, sod and small plantings (complete plans of all landscaping and fencing are available in the HPC office). This is an excellent example of how a sensitive and appropriate renovation can bring a historical building up to date with little negative affect to the original structure. _r- STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Application Number: 2000-0828 Property Location: 1512 East Wayne Property Owner: Beverly Wheeler Landmark or District Designation: LHD-EW Rating: C/9 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT This residence was built in 1926 by Whitcomb and Keller and sold to Guy DeRhodes in 1927.

STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Application Number: 2000-0829 Property Location: 129 Franklin Property Owner: Vera C. Yeager Landmark or District Designation: LL Rating: S/11 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT John C. Stover bought this property from William Kizer in 1888. He had the existing brick house demolished in 1896 to make way for a new wood frame, Queen Anne style house. Mr. Stover was a wholesale lumber dealer with his own lumberyard. John resided here until his death in 1930 at which time, his son, Burton, inherited the house. Burton Stover went into a trusteeship with the Indiana Savings & Loan Association, together they sold the house to the First Federal Savings & Loan Association in 1939. They used the property as a rental until 1945 when it was sold to Frank Carpenter, an employee of the Oliver Corporation. He immediately sold the house to Ford and Vera Reaves, who only resided in the house briefly. The title to the house was transferred into Vera's name in 1952. Mrs. Vera Reaves -Yeager converted the house into a rental at the same time as 127 Franklin. Mrs. Reaves -Yeager is still the legal owner, however, at 101 years of age she can no longer manage the properties, they have been left to her daughter, Marilyn Proctor is the Trustee. RECOMMENDATION The Preservation Guidelines for Local Landmarks follow the Rehabilitation Model. Group B Standards The applicant has already removed the columns from the front porch and replaced them with larger, fluted columns. The owner is proposing to also replace the columns on the side porch with the same fluted columns. The railings have also been removed and are to be replaced with a railing that closely resembles the original. Both the front and side porch are in need of shoring up and repairs. Currently the side porch is pulling away from the house. The property manager had discussed the proposed porch repairs with HPC staff prior to beginning work. It was during this conversation that he stated that any new columns or rails would be installed to best resemble the original. He would get them as close as he could. After this conversation the property manager hired a contractor and work began with out the proper permits. The column's that were installed in no way resemble the originals. The originals were simple round columns that narrowed toward the top. The staff recommends denial of the illegal replacement columns and stipulates that they be replaced with a round, simple columns that narrow at the top, just like the originals. The staff feels that cost should not be a factor since a column that better resembles the original would not have cost anymore then those put in and had the property manager obtained the proper permits before going out and buying the existing columns he would have known that they were not acceptable. Any money that was wasted was do to poor judgment and haste on the part of the property manager and has no bearing on the staff recommendation. The property manager has assured me, as has the contractor, that the railings that were removed would be replaced with a new railing that would closely resemble the existing. Since the original railings have been removed it is impossible to get an accurate count in regards to the vertical members. However, these members are extremely close together, with no more then two inches between them. The staff would recommend approval of the rail replacement with the stipulation that it have as many vertical members as the original with similar spacing and that it be located in the same place and be the same size as the original. PROPOSED LOCAL LANDMARK 19701 COWLES ST. JOSEPH COUTY, INDIANA Historic Preservation Commission Of South Bend and St. Joseph County May 2000 19701 COWLES - HISTORICAL CONTEXT This Cross -Gabled, Vernacular Style farmhouse was built in 1875 by Frederick Rufus Cowles. Mr. Cowles settled near Sodus, Michigan with his brother and started a sawmill. He married Elizabeth Kinkaid Leake and moved to St. Joseph County, Indiana, with their two young children in 1873. Mr. Cowles purchased the land in Clay Township and tore down an existing house to build a new house for his family. He had the wood for the house sawn at his brother's sawmill and shipped to Clay Township. The house was finished in 1875 and was occupied by Mr. Cowles until his death in 1878 at age 52. Mrs. Cowles continued to live in the family house until her death in 1914 at which time the property was maintained by her daughter, Ruby and her son-in-law Lyndon E. Keifer. Ruby Keifer was born at 19701 Cowles in Clay Township in 1877 and married Lyndon E. Keifer in 1895. Mr. Keifer died in 1932. Mr. & Mrs. Keifer had two daughters, Blanche and Margaret. Mrs. Keifer resided in the house until her death in 1965 at which time the house is believed to have been inherited by her daughter, Margaret Plank. At some point between 1965 and 1970 the property was transferred to Wayne and Dean Plank, the sons of Margaret Plank. In 1969 Dean Plank transferred his interest in the property over to his brother, Wayne. Do to a lack of available documentation there may be flaws in the above history.

National Register Bulletin 15 — How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation provides that "Properties may be eligible for the National Register if they a are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history..." RECOMMENDATION The Staff of the HPC recommends in favor of the nomination of Muessel/Drewry Brewery Complex located at 1408 Elwood, South Bend, Indiana to the National Register of Historic Places. The Complex meets Criterion A "for its significance in the area of industry". It exemplifies the originations of small town, family owned brewery's and their eventually downfall to larger corporations. As described in the Statement of Significance section of the nomination, the brewery complex is an expanse of buildings built over a one hundred year period that illustrates the growth of a local business, its incorporation into a larger business and its eventual demise at the hands of yet another, even a larger corporation. It is the opinion of HPC Staff that these buildings meet the criteria for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. Staff recommends that the commission send a favorable ruling to the Mayor of South Bend, Indiana and to the State Historic Preservation Office.

JOSEPh UuuNTx 1N CLASSIFICATION There.are 7 contributing buildings: the office/brewery complex; the connected keg storage and washing buildings that once were connected to the brewery;. the bottling works/warehousing/shipping complex; the 1930s warehouse on the south edge.of the property; the mechanics building; the earlier bottling works/spent grain drying building; the small brick building south of the three silos. There are 2 contributing structures: the single grain silo and the three contiguous grain silos. There is one non-contributing building: the concrete -block --warehouse building once connected to the bottling works. There are 2 non-contributing structures: the concrete foundation'that was once a warehouse connected to the bottling works and the power substation. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION The former Muessel Brewery predated virtually everything that stands around it. (The original Muessel property contained over 136 acres, with the brewery located at the far north end near the west boundary.) To the north, west, and south, the area is mostly residential. Immediately west is Muessel Park, where a pond was once located from -which the brewery harvested ice.The pond and surrounding low land was drained in the 1930s as a Works Progress Administration project. To the east is a commercial district strung along Portage Avenue. The earliest (1860s) brewery buildings on the site, most of which were brick, gradually were replaced, although there appears to be one section --almost completely surrounded --remaining that may date to that initial period. -Otherwise, the brewery's oldest surviving buildings date from the turn of the century. Additions and new buildings continued to be constructed into the 1960s under Drewry's. Nearly all the historic buildings are red brick. While there are technically over twenty buildings and structures on the site, the majority are linked one to another and are actually serial additions.. What was once a thriving manufacturing and distributing facility is only partially occupied today with a variety of small businesses, offices, and warehousing. NPS Form 10.900.a OMB Approvd No. 1024-WIB IB -M United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7. R Page MUESSEL/DREWRY'S BREWERY COMPLEX ST. JOSEPH COUNTY IN Along the west side of the brewery (photo 12) are small brick additions that for the most part had housed grain receiving facilities; they are adjacent to what remains of a double, railroad siding. Immediately west of the brewery proper near the northwest corner is a large metal silo; three more stand in a contiguous row to the south, west of the tracks. Along the western edge of.the property, is a non-descript long, flat - roofed "mechanics building" sided with corrugated metal (photo 13) that once housed the brewery's maintenance shops: the electricians, pipe, carpenter, and paint shops, as well as additional storage. There is an electrical.power substation immediately north of this building that was erected a few decades ago. NARRATIVE STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The Muessel/Drewry's Brewery complex visually represents the transformation of a locally owned,.family-operated brewery into part of a large; outside -owned -brewing corporation, Drewry's, Limited, and, much later, the closing of the facility when a still -larger corporation took over. Such a story is all too typical -and hardly limited to the brewing industry or South Bend The Muessel Brewery is eligible for the National Register under Criterion A, for its significance in the area of industry. Begun as a family operation'in 1852, the Muessel Brewery was the first of a triumvirate of local breweries in South Bend -Mishawaka, none of which is still active. The -second brewery also had origins in the 1850s, in a small operation begun in Mishawaka by a man named Wagner. Adolph Kamm, along with some partners, purchased the brewery in 1870; in the 1880s, Nicholas Schellinger became -a partner and it was incorporated as Kamm & Schellinger Brewing Company. By the turn of the century all of its earliest frame buildings had been replaced; today this largely intact brewery complex along the St. Joseph River is known as the 100 Center and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Finally, in 1903, a group of local tavern owners formed the South Bend Brewing Association to manufacture and distribute beer. Two years later the association completed a large brick building on present-day Lincoln -way West. It closed in the 1950s, and today the partly abandoned former brewery houses a few local businesses. t° s is y v d 1T°r i' ..f t=, d• k wx5^er" y .

RECOMMENDATION The Staff of the HPC recommends in favor of the nomination of the South Bend Brewing Association located at 1636 Lincolnway West, South Bend, Indiana to the National Register of Historic Places. The Brewery meets Criterion A "for its significance in the area of industry". It demonstrates a 1900's industry specifically designed for the making of beer that was distributed locally and aided the areas economy. As described in the Statement of Significance section of the nomination, the Association was a triumvirate of local breweries in South Bend and Mishawaka formed in 1903 by German, Polish and Hungarian immigrants. They built this castle -like structure in 1905 for the express purpose of brewing a beer, which was sold regionally and helped boost the areas economy. It is the opinion of HPC Staff that these buildings meet the criteria for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. Staff recommends that the commission send a favorable ruling to the Mayor of South Bend, Indiana and to the State Historic Preservation Office.

NPS Form 10-9004 OA48 Appwafftm Y024-wre United States Department of the Interior Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page South Bend Brewing Association St. Joseph County IN NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION The former South Bend Brewing,Association plant, opened in 1905, . faces the busy thoroughfare of West'Lincolnway in an area of mixed residential, commercial, and light industrial use. Immediately east (see photos 1,3) past a vacant lot are tracks of the former New York Central Railroad. - To the west across Colle'ge.Street is the company's former bottling facility (photo 6), constructed in 1910. The main, plant, a large and irregularly shaped brick building,',' rises approximately four stories at its main north facade (photos 1,.2), which features squared corner towers west andeast and 67 crenelated parapet.- A corbelled cornice runs along I the'front,'and each of the towers.itself has a small tower at the outer corner with a corbelled peak.The window openings, segmental- and flat - arched with limestone sills, are now almost all boarded; , a . few are bricked. The original facade.appears to have been rather plain; today a one-story glass -paneled storefront added in the 1950s dominates. Faded ghost.signs from the 1960s arevisible on the, entire facade above the storefront. The four-story section -of the building is trapetoidal, owing to'the north side following the parallel of Lincolnway, 'which angle's -west northwest out of town. Along the east elevation (photo 3)- the -building becomes three stories- (but essential ' ly the same height),,then'one; that portion sports a large cylindrical -brick smokestack. At the southwest of that ' section (photo 4) is a somewhat higher one-story secti6n*with a post -World War II addition. Within the L formed by the north and east elevations -nestles another one-story.section with a loading dock; it features some Craftsman detailsk chiefly a hipped roof with a wide overhang and knee braces. The area of the original building behind the added storefront has been used for numerous activities over the years and has been remodeled a great deal on the first and second floors. Beyond that, however, the building's interior remains largely untouched. The huge metal tank on the topmost levellwhere the brewing process began remains in place. These areas were not maintained for decades, during which time generations . of pigeons have called'it home. Virtually.all the original window -sashes that were removed when the openings were boarded or'bricked remain stacked inside.

T024.W18 St. Joseph County IN The'same is true of several interior wooden doors. The upper ,level floors (photo 5) and unused parts of the lowerfloors presently are strewn with debris and vast deposits of pigeon dung; the current owner is engaged in a lengthy cleanup process. The original part of the former bottling facility (photo 6) at 739 - College is a two-and-a-half-story.(two stories over a raised basement) rectangular brick building, flat -roofed with a -parapet and corbelled corner detail on the'main east facade. Centered below the cornice is a limestone tablet on which is carved BOTTLING HOUSE/1910. The flat -arched rectangular window openings have limestone sills; those that are not boarded contain what appear to be original one -over -one woodendouble-hung sashes. There is a 'single (boarded) entrance at the north end of the east facade. On the north side is a small .*frame *shed addition along the alley. In the 1930s a one -and -a -half story,L-shaped portion was added to the south and west, creating a larger rectangular building. On that section on the north, alohg_the alley, is'a one-storyaddition. -Extending west and to the south from that is a huge plain concrete block addition, about two stories in height. NARRATIVE STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The South Bend Brewing Association is a wonderful example of a turn -of -the -century industrial building specifically designed for its task of brewing beer. An early twentieth-century.publicly owned consortium, as opposed to alm'ulti-generational family business, the brewing company was an important contributor to the area's economy. As the former home of a locally produced, regionally distributed product,, the South Bend Brewing Association buildings are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under. Criterion A'in the area of industry. The main building (1636 Lincolnway West) has been designated a Local Landmark by the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St.Joseph County." United States Department of the Interior National Park -Service - National Register of Historic 'Pla c6s Continuation Sheet Section number P Page South Bend Brewing Association St. Joseph County IN The South Bend Brewing Association was one of a triumvirate of ,local breweries in South Bend -Mishawaka, none of which is still active. The first was the Muessel Brewery, a family operation started.in 1852, which by the end ofthe nineteenth century had constructed a 'large new plant, still extant (along with decades of additions) in the 1300-1400 blocks of Elwood Avenue. In 1936, after manufacturing non-alcoholic beverages during Prohibition, ,the brewery became Drewry's,-which closed in the 1970s. The second brewery also had origins'An the 1850s, in a,small operation begun in Mishawaka.by aman named Wagner.. Adolph Kamm, along with some partners, purchased the brewery in,1870; in the 1880s, Nicholas.-Schellinger became a partner and it was incorporated as Kamm & Schellinger Brewing Company. By'the turn of the century all of its earliest frame buildings had, been replaced; today this largely intact brewery' complex along the St. Joseph Rive I r is known .as the 100 Center and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1903 a group of mostly German, Polish, and Hungarian (the three largest immigrant groups in South Bend at the time) tavernowners formed the South Bend Brewing Association to manufacture and distribute beer. They immediately offered stock to the public and soon began to lease saloons around the city, most of which were on the city's heavily ethnic west side.- The association built a large brick building on what was then called Michigan Avenue (for the old'Michigan Road), later renamed Lincolnway when the Lincoln Highway was routed on it.. A former plumber, Jerry Voelkets, became the manager and served until his death in 1911. Opened in 1905, -the imposing castle -like structure houseda complete manufacturing facility, with power, -heating and cooling, and loading docks on the south and southwest. The process of brewing depended on gravity flow, and the building, four stories high in the front (north) and descending in tiers to one story in the rear, is a visual representation of the procedure. The chief., products were Tiger Beer and Hoosier Beer. A separate bottling tling facility was built in 1910 immediately to the west across College' Street. The brewery later enlarged this building and moved its offices into it. NPS Form 10.900-a 0-M United States Department of the Interior National Park Service ------ National -Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 9 Page 4 OMB Approval No. 1024-WIS South Bend Brewing Association St. Joseph County IN As with the other local breweries, Prohibition, effected in 1919 by the Volstead Act, forced the South Bend Brewing Association to change its line of manufacture. About this time the Voedisch family's long association with the company began, continuing until the brewery closed. George Voedisch (formerly employed with the Muessel_Brewery) became President and General Manager of the renamed South Bend Beverage and Ice Association in 1922, replacing Thomas Hoban. The firm made non-alcoholic beverages (among them Hoosier Root Beer and Hoosier Sweet Cider), candy,.ice cream, and in the non-food line, denatured alcohol for industrial purposes and, of course,'ice. _When Prohibition ended the company resumed brewing beer for regional sales, producing around fifty thousand barrels yearly. After World War II business declined, -at least in part because of a hefty federal excise tax on each barrel brewed that placed smaller breweries at a disadvantage. While the firm continued its ice manufacturing section, Polar Ice and Fuel; for a few additional years, the brewery closed in November 1950. Various businesses have used the building over the past decades: the White Way Glass Company in the 1950s; the I.W. Lower.Company (paints) in the 1960s;' a Harley-Davidson service and showroom facility in the 1970s and early 1980s. At present a resale shop occupies the storefront, and a glass manufacturer, Indiana Glass Company, uses much of the first floor level along College. The South Bend Brewing Association is representative of a turn -of - the -century industrial building specifically designed for its task, in this case, the brewing of beer. As the former home of a locally -produced, regionally distributed product --an important contributor to the area's economy --the South Bend Brewing Association buildings are.eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A in the area of industry.

National Register Bulletin 15 - How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation provides that "Properties may be eligible for the National Register if they a are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history..." The properties may also be eligible if the "embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction..." These characteristics are further described as "The pattern of features common to a particular category of resources." RECOMMENDATION The Staff of the HPC recommends in favor of the nomination of the Wertz-Bestle Farm located at 51387 Portage Road, South Bend, Indiana to the National Register of Historic Places. The property meets Criterion A and C for architectural and agricultural significance. As described in the Statement of Significance section of the nomination, the property is a wonderful example of a late nineteenth century farmstead. The main structure, built in 1872, has stayed intact and is a fine example of a late Victorian Italianate farmhouse. It is architecturally significant for characteristics including a low pitched gable roof, wide overhanging eaves, long narrow, arched windows and wide entablature. The most notable structure on the farm is the remarkably intact barn, which is a great example of the Midwestern variation of a Schweitzer Barn. The Wertz-Bestle Farm is one of the few remaining 1870's farmsteads in German Township of St. Joseph County. A once desirable agricultural area has since lost most of its farmland to new subdivisions. It is the opinion of HPC Staff that these buildings meet the criteria for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. Staff recommends that the commission send a favorable ruling to the St. Joseph County Commissioners , Indiana and to the State Historic Preservation Office. RLS -Asst.

OMS Approval No. 1024-00I8 NPS Form 10-900-a (8-W) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION The remaining farmstead plus 36.6 cultivated acres of the historic Wertz-Bestle Farm lie on the west side of Portage Road northwest of South Bend near the Michigan state line. The westward extension of Auten.Road forms the south boundary of the property. Across P-ortaae' Road from the property lies ' considerable suburban development. which has been encroaching upon this agricultural area for several years. There are some other farms still remaining in the vicinity, and the,,land in aeneral is a mix of rolling fields typical of a.lacial moraine and patches of*second-growth forest. The farmstead.'whicb sets well back from Portaae Road. consists. of 11.4 acres surrounded on three sides by cropland. The entrance to the-drive'leadincr to the house and barn is marked at Portage Road by brick pillars that likely date to the construction of I the house.(photo 1). Maple trees line the drive along the, south: a stand of large walnut trees lies southeast of the barn. The expansive yard contains many medium and some large deciduous trees, giving the property a park -like quality (see ohotos'1.2). South of the house is a young woods: the area may have contained other outbuildings in the past; A shed --long gone --once stood in this area. . west and a little north of the barn. The brick house (photo 3). possibly dating to 1872, is a two- story, T -gabled building with a one -and -a -half story kitchen wing on the west. It rests on a foundation of shaped fieldstone. The wide overhang suggests the possibility that originally there may have been brackets beneath the eaves. in keeping with the Italianate influence prevalent valent in the area at the time. The house does possess the typical secrmental-arched windows.,most of which survive intact. with one -over -one double hung sashes. Some of the upper -story window openings contain a pair of very narrow double hung sashes. The original louvered wooden shutters survive. but are in storage at present. The kitchen wing on the west (see photo 4) has been altered somewhat. particularly with the enlarged window opening on the upper level. What presumably began as a porch on the northwest was enclosed early on. The porches on the southwest and. southeast (see photo 3), probably added in the 1890s but possibly earlier. were originally identical and flush with the south wall of the house. The oresent owner extended them outward,,a few feet and enclosed the one on the southeast to create a sunroom. The original front entrance door remains, now inside. NPS Form 10-900-a OA48 AppmvaMm 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of - Historic Places Continuation Sheet. Section number 7 Page 2 Wertz-Bestle Farm St. Joseph County. IN The interior of the house, never ornate, survives virtually intact. The original doors (photo 5), surrounds. and stairs. which appear to be of walnut. all remain. Most are painted, as they likely would have been from the start: the doors are stained and retain their original hardware. Spatially the interior remains essentially the same: the load-bearincr walls are brick covered with plaster. The basement, which may have been dug in the 1880s. has walls of rubblestone. Its floor retains an embedded brick circle where some early heating source once stood. for in the floor above the circle was a grate. The gabled frame barn (photos 6,7) is approximately three -and -a - half stories high and contains two - levels. The upper level has- two'rows of tall, narrow arched louvered openings on the east - .(see photo 2) and -north sides only: -it -is entered on the north up a reinforced earthen bank (the concrete abutment was surely added later) through tall double doors (photo 6). The large open space looks much the same as when.it was used to store hay. The upper level is cantilevered over the lower on the south (photo 7). forming a shelter where, no doubt, oubt, there once.were animal pens. The lower level has windows'on all but the north side (owing to the bank), which are . four -light sashes -with peaked surrounds. Inside (photo 8) there Are several wooden stanchions and stalls. with hand-hewn uptight beams, and areas set apart with work benches and spaces for specific farm tasks. Some of the ceiling joists appear simply to be trees with bark still remaining, scarcely hewn at all. NPS form 10.900-a (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number R Page 4 OMB Approva/No. 1024-0018 Wertz—Bestle Farm St. Joseoh County IN raising such crops as wheat. corn. and oats. and maintaining a herd of dairy cows and a numbers of pias and chickens. the latter mainly for home use. After Godfrey Bestle's death. his son Charles purchased the other heirs' shares of the property and lived in the house. The farm remained in the Bestle family until about 1970. when it was purchased by a neighboring landowner. Agatha Wilhelm. the mother of the present owner. Elizabeth Lauber. The house was rented out until 1982, when Ms. Lauber purchased the -property. While the house has been altered somewhat. with the enclosure of the southeast porch and the new window on. the west. it remains reasonably intact. The architectural significance of the property. however, lies in the beautifully restored Schweitzer - barn that retains its original interior of roucrh—hewn joists and wooden stalls and stanchions in the lower level. Here the animals were sheltered and various work stations for different tasks are divided off. The upper level. reached by way of an earthen bank and cantilevered on the south. was used.for storing hay. While the other outbuildings that no doubt once completed the farmstead have not survived—the Wertz—Bestle Farm nonetheless retains much of the character of its oriains in the 1870s. It remains a fine example of a late nineteenth century family farmstead. The house has not been substantially altered and retains most of its original fabric, but the Schweitzer barn is an especially fine example of the Midwestern variation of this type and is remarkably intact. The property appears to meet both Criteria'A and C (significance in aariculture and architecture. respectively) and thus is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
