DHPA Grant Cycle 1995 <br />9-28-94 <br />PROPOSAL SUMMARY <br />Project: Northern Indiana College/South Bend Chilled Plow - National Register <br />Nomination <br />DHPA Priority Area: Architectural/Historical <br />Project Description: <br />Review and expand on the description and history found in the current survey <br />card of the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Survey and perform <br />additional research and documentation as required to meet the requirements of <br />a nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The project will <br />further include the preparation of the necessary forms for submission of the <br />National Register nomination. <br />Comments: <br />This structure which was constructed as terminus to the West Washington <br />corridor, the "mansion row" of late nineteenth century South Bend. Following <br />the failure of the educational institution it was converted to industrial use <br />and received additions for this purpose. <br />Our preliminary judgment is that the nomination should emphasize Criteria <br />"C", focusing on the style, scale, and rarity of the subject structure and its <br />building type. Secondary emphasis may focus on Criteria "A" as representing a <br />trends (event) in the development of education, commerce, industry, and the <br />expansion of the city and its plan. <br />David B.
