Today's office — 1st Source Bank, and the succession that is not yet proven

1963–2026 · BRANCH BANKING

The office at 848 West Michigan Street is open, staffed, and South Bend's. 1st Source Bank's own locations record gives the present state whole: the New Carlisle Banking Center, 848 West Michigan Street, New Carlisle, IN 46552, telephone (574) 654-3137, lobby and drive-up hours posted, "across from the New Carlisle Olive Township Fire Department," "just past the public library"; the bank's 2010 annual report already lists a New Carlisle banking center among its offices, and the business association's 2026 roll names Mindie Colanese as the center's contact. What the record reached does not prove is the corporate path from the National Bank & Trust Co. branch of 1963 to today's 1st Source office: a June 2022 survey of the Michigan Road photographed downtown's "longtime bank building" as, in a 2008-era survey statement it repeats, a Wells Fargo branch — which would suggest a National Bank & Trust → Norwest → Wells Fargo line and a later Wells Fargo exit — but no instrument verifies any link of that chain at FDIC strength, and none of it is asserted. The succession 1963→present is banked as a named gap (GAP-NC3-BANK-3), settlers the FDIC BankFind Institution History records for the succeeding institutions and the branch's own establishment record; the survey sighting is printed here, at survey strength, because it is the only dated sighting of the office's middle years the record holds.
