Architecture & the Built City
Granger has no Architecture section of its own in the banked build — its built fabric rides inside the neighborhoods, businesses and religion files, at plat, firm and congregation size. This addendum digs the eight items the depth audit left short from the records that hold built fabric: the Historic Preservation Commission's landmark record as Dorothy Corson printed it, the Carnegie Corporation's Indiana grants record, the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library's building course as the Tribune reported it, the firms' own project records (Alliance Architects, William Heyer Architects, Lehman & Lehman, EverGreene), the Tribune's Princess Way industrial-park reporting, and the county parcel file the neighborhoods leg already pulled. What the open record carries is printed whole; what it does not carry — the stage-stop house's builder and date, and any design count for the Knollwood plats — is printed as a named gap with its settler, and the mansion pattern is printed as the tested negative it is.
The Two Oldest Houses: the Talley House
Register row L22-#2 · closes as a NAMED GAP (the pair cannot both be fixed from open sources)
The Talley house, at the size the landmark record carries it: Dorothy Corson's A Cave of Candles , chapter 4, printing the Historic Preservation Commission's account and the St. Joseph County Public Library's newspaper biography…
The mansion stock, tested: no mansion in the record — custom houses at the top of a subdivision stock
Register row L22-#3 · closes as a TESTED NEGATIVE
The pattern fails, and the failure is the finding: the checklist's mansion stock — a house a church voted not to demolish, a mansion that burned to its walls, a golf-course mansion — was tested against the whole record this build…
The industrial buildings as architecture: Princess Way and Sandy Court — low sheds, one millwork plant, one brewery
Register row L22-#4 · closes as DUG
The ground's one industrial plat, as a built fact: Princess Way, off State Road 23, is the CDP's only platted industrial ground (twenty parcels in the county file, in the banked neighborhoods leg). The Tribune's 2004 account of…
The Carnegie test, run for both townships: no grant, no building — and the Harris Branch that stands instead
Register row L22-#5 · closes as a TESTED NEGATIVE
The test, and its result: Indiana received more Carnegie library grants than any other state — 156 grants building 164 public libraries between 1901 and 1918, from Goshen's first grant in 1901 to Lowell's last in 1918 (Indiana…
The planned subdivision's design count: the house count stands at 3,400; the design count was never published
Register row L22-#8 · closes as a NAMED GAP
What stands: the Communities of Knollwood carry the checklist's house count whole, from the developer's own account: Adams Road Development's Home Builders Association of St. Joseph Valley showcase (Spring 2019) states "over…
The churches as buildings: a survey of the unlisted sacred fabric
Register row L22-#10 · closes as DUG · the roll as it stands, November 2026
The survey's rule: Churches & Religion owns the sixteen seated congregations as congregations; this entry owns their buildings — style, architect and building date as fabric, at the strength each building's own record carries…
The architects of the place: every firm with local work the record names
Register row L22-#11 · closes as DUG
Alliance Architects (South Bend) — the parish church: the ground's largest documented architectural commission is St. Pius X's 2017 church, designed by Alliance Architects of South Bend with William Heyer Architects (EverGreene's…
The demolition ledger: every major loss the record carries, with date and what replaced it
Register row L22-#12 · closes as DUG · losses gathered from their owning legs
The ledger's rule: a loss enters with its date and its replacement, or with the absence of one of those facts printed. The banked build carried these losses scattered in their owning legs; they are gathered here once, and the…
