The modern layer, and the state of the record

2013–2026 · CLOSING STRENGTH, ONE LINE EACH

The recent built city, at the size this chapter allows it: The Mill at Ironworks Plaza stands on the Ball Band ground at the river bend. City Hall sits since 2022 in the recycled 1985 Liberty Mutual building at Lincolnway and Main. The fire department's new Station No. 4 headquarters opened at 3000 Harrison Road in 2013, and Station No. 2's new house at 700 East McKinley in October 2024. The 100 Center brewery complex carries a $41.5 million READI redevelopment, announced December 2024. The city's fourteenth historical marker rose on the Tivoli's ground on 21 May 2026 — the newest built object in this chapter being a memorial to a demolished one.

The state of the record: The Register's Mishawaka stands, at the writing of this chapter in November 2026, at eleven listings inside the city, one at the boundary on the reservoir ground, and one removed — a roster complete through the Park Service's postings of September 2026. The record's open edges are named in this section's note: the parish square's building-by-building dates, the high school's and Beiger School's architects, the hotel's fabric, St. Michael's building date, and the seven Lincolnway East houses whose 2002 fight this chapter could not follow to an outcome. The built city the record proves is a small industrial city's full arc in fabric: Greek Revival houses from the iron-works village, a brewery and a mansion from the pulley-and-rubber age, a Jacobethan library and a cottage fire station from the streetcar city, 315 veterans' houses from the war's return, and a ledger of losses — by fire, by arson, by renewal and by implosion — as long as the list of survivals. Both lists are the architecture. Neither is printed the smaller for the other.
