2000–November 2026
Indiana Landmarks — the statewide organisation, founded as the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana and renamed in 2010 — keeps a Northern Regional Office in South Bend, one of its regional offices across the state. Its South Bend footprint is a serial-restoration record, told by the organisation itself. In 2000 it saved the 1896 Remedy Building by moving it, and based the northern office there from 2002. In 2012, at the request of city leaders, it took possession of the c.1888 William and Elizabeth Kizer House at 801–803 West Washington Street, a deteriorated landmark in the West Washington National Register district; it sold the Remedy Building for 350,000 dollars and put the money into the Kizer House's masonry and roof, and in May 2017 moved the two-person regional office into the Kizer carriage house while interior restoration continued. In February 2022, exterior renovation complete, it offered the Kizer House for sale at 349,900 dollars, to be sold with Indiana Landmarks preservation covenants — the organisation's stated cycle of acquiring a troubled landmark, stabilising it, and passing it on protected. Its South Bend work continues: in May 2024 it announced the relocation of the c.1913 Poledor House from 211 Marion Street to 402 West Navarre Street in the Chapin Park district, a donated Craftsman house to be stabilised and sold with covenants, with Todd Zeiger named as director of the Northern Regional Office.
The Granger share: Indiana Landmarks' published holdings, easement and property records, and its news record, searched November 2026, show no property held, no easement taken, and no project undertaken in Clay or Harris township or inside the CDP. Its presence for this ground is jurisdictional and advisory — a two-person regional office eleven miles away in South Bend, and the survey partnership of Article 4 — not proprietary. On Granger ground, Indiana Landmarks holds nothing.
