From: David Relos, EDP
Subject: Staff Report -Hansel Center
Date: 03 20.2009
Economic Development staff brings before you today for your consideration the adaptive reuse of the former Hansel
Center, which is in the West Washington Chapin Development Area (WWCDA). Hansel Center is located at 1045 W
Washington Street, across the street from the Natatorium and future site of the IUSB Center for Civil Rights.
Hansel Center is an historic landmark building in the West Washington / Chapin Street National Historic District. It was
built in 1925 as a Children's Dispensary, and later served as a neighborhood center and as the administrative offices for
Head Start. It has been vacant since August 2003 and has been vandalized by scrappers.
A proposed joint venture between the City of South Bend and University of Notre Dame would rehabilitate the building
to house the Notre Dame Center for Art and Culture. which would house the Institute for Latino Studies, Segura
Publishing (a fine art print house which would relocate here from Tempe Arizona). among numerous other print and arts
related community and university projects.
Total project cost is estimated to be $l .3 million. Notre Dame"s commitment, pledged by private donors, would be
approximately $800,000. and would be used for the extensive remodeling that would be required of this brick building
and its carriage house and grounds.
The City's commitment, which would be used for exterior work and the purchase of the building, would be $500,000.
Funding this commitment would be up to $370,000 from the West Washington Chapin TIF and $130,000 from
Community Development Block Grant funds. Cost to purchase the property from South Bend Heritage Foundation, who
has been caretaker of the building for many years, would be approximately $100,000. This amount would pay off the
mortgage and taxes owed on the property.
Upon completion of the City's commitment. the property would be transferred to Notre Dame, who would be responsible
for the operation and long tens care of the building. which would help anchor this area of City -both strong reasons for
the City~s involvement in this project.
The actions requested by the Commission today are as follows:
Staff requests Commission approval to begin the process to add this property to the acquisition list for the WWCDA.
This building will need to be added to the acquisition list in this Development Area, subject to being approved by the
City Council and Area Plan Commission. to allow for the building purchase and spending of City funds on the
renovation.
Staff also requests Commission approval to authorize the use of up to $370,000 in TIF dollars for this project to be used
for exterior work on the buildings and grounds.

oP the many departments main-
tained'for treatment of youngsters
at the Children's Dispensary &
Hospital association, 1045 West
Washington avenue..
r The dispensary, which receives-
most of its suppo}t from the
South Bend Community Chest,
emphasizes early diagnosis as the..
determining element in the sue-
cessful care of heart cases, Among:.
.the 25 physicians who give their
services to the dispensary's var-
ious clinics without charge are

"Early diagnosis and plenty oP
'rest are essential to the treatment
of .children suffering from cardiac
aliments," said Miss Marian '
Moore, superintendent of the in-~'
situation. "With these two things
in their favor, they have prospects.'
of eventually enjoying fairly.good
health, Without them, they are
likely to wind up as invalids."
Two of the youngest patients
in the cardiac clinic are five-year-
old Norma Jean Wallace, whose ',
heart was damaged by rheumatic
fever, and six-year-old Joseph
Piatek, whose heart has been weak ~
since birth.
"Both of these children have
good prospects of normal health,
thanks to early diagnosis in the
clinic," Miss Moore said. "They
visit the clinic every two weeks
for a'doing over and.POr medics-~
tion, The' ~riost important thing
right now is for them ~to get i
plenty of rest. We keep them

Hansel Center, which offers a variety
of community services, oversees three
centers -Episcopal, Martin and the
Learning Twig. The Episcopal center, in
operation six years, was opened by mem-
be~s of the St. James Episcopal congre•
gation in cooperation with the Catholic
piocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend and
United Way of South Send. Martin center
is making its second year of operation'
'this month, and the Learning Twig had
•been open a year last October.
Each center has at least four on' its
staff, including a director, according to_
N'i1He Green, executive director of they
Hansel Center. Volunteers from thei
''Youth Services Bureau also help oubwith

whose children attend, Mrs. Carte Brad-i
ley of the Hansel staff, explained, _ a)<;
though special arrangements are made
,with parents who are unable to pay. At
preseut the day care operation is the best

:Mrs., Bradley said. "Parents should re-
member to fill. out day care applications

;limited funding and openings usually ifiII
quickly, she said.
The emphasis is on learrtiifo at the;
centers, but crafts and recreation:keep,
the youngsters busy throughout the day.',

available, a child is given a lot to smile
about.
