We are seeking to have it designated as a local historic landmark to have it .protected in years to come. It was built in 1909 by Klemens Smogor for his family. Smogor built many sturdy, beautiful houses throughout South Bend and had a lumber yard just down the street from his home at the end of Laurel and Division, which is now Western. The home was saved from being torn down and restored in 1979 by Paul Hayden through the Community Development Homestead program. We also have the original abstract documents. We hope that you will find it suitable for such a designation. You are welcome to contact us to view inside as well as outside.
