BOUNDARY · POINTER SIZE · 1952 – PRESENT

The famous house at this ground's edge institution is carried here at pointer size, as the row assigns: the Morris Inn at the University of Notre Dame, across the line in the university's own ground southwest of Clay Township — Notre Dame's house, not Granger's, named here because Granger's hotel trade exists largely to sleep the university's visitors and because the Food file already uses Notre Dame's lodging record as a roster source. Pointer facts only: built with a $1 million gift from alumnus Ernest M. Morris and dedicated in 1952 with 92 rooms as the first structure of Notre Dame's post-war building program; owned and operated by the university; closed October 2012 and reopened in late August–September 2013 after a renovation and expansion of more than $30 million, at 132 guest rooms and 18 suites; a AAA Four Diamond house and a member of Historic Hotels of America; still trading in November 2026. Its whole course belongs to the Notre Dame and South Bend builds. The Mishawaka-line corridor houses stand at the same size in the present-map article below.
