BILL NO.48-25
ORDINANCE NO. 11221-25
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA,AMENDING THE HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION AT 528 SOUTH
EDDY STREET, LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA
WHEREAS, in February of 2000, this body enacted Ordinance No. 9989-00, which
designated a parcel located at 528 South Eddy Street as a historic landmark,due to the presence of
the three story, brick, neoclassical Jefferson School building, which structure is of historic
importance to the City and its heritage, and whose architecture, materials, and craftsmanship are
exemplary in design and execution;
WHEREAS, the description of the landmark used in Ordinance 9989-00 resulted in the
entire 19.96 acre parcel located at 528 South Eddy Street, containing School Field, a concession
stand, a maintenance building, and other appurtenant land, in addition to the Jefferson School
building, being designated as part of the historic landmark;
WHEREAS, it is clear from the record that the intent of the landmark designation was to
protect the Jefferson School building, as this is the only structure and/or historically notable item
mentioned in the legislative history supporting the landmark designation; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable to more narrowly tailor the landmark designation to continue
the preservation of the Jefferson School, while removing restrictions upon the remainder of the
property so that the South Bend Community School Corporation may maintain, upgrade, and alter
the remainder of the buildings and property as they deem best to serve the needs of their students
and the community at large.
