The <br /> George Cutter Works was ultimately absorbed by Westinghouse,which continued production of his <br /> designs after his death. <br /> The replacement of the Cutter replica fixtures represents a collaborative effort between the City of South <br /> Bend and Indiana Department of Transportation. The Historic Preservation Commission wishes to <br /> express appreciation to both entities. <br /> All are welcome to attend! <br /> For additional information: Office of Historic Preservation <br /> 574.235.9798 <br /> COMMISSIONERS <br /> Mary Jane Chase(Treasurer) Shawn Peterson(Legal Counsel) Gerald Ujdak <br /> Martha Choitz Lynn Patrick(Vice President) Linda Riley <br /> Catherine Hostetler Joann Sporleder(Historic Architect) Todd Zeiger(Secretary) <br />
