COUNTED NOVEMBER 2026 · ST. JOSEPH COUNTY AND OSCEOLA
Counts, not favourites, each at its date. National Register: the National Park Service's county list, complete through the listings posted 18 September 2026, carries 102 properties and districts in St. Joseph County, including one National Historic Landmark — and four former listings removed: the Colfax Theater (demolished November 1991, removed 1993), the Morningside Club Residence (burned 18 December 1988), the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Building (removed 2012) and Mishawaka's Tivoli Theater (demolished 2 February 2005). Local designation: the Historic Preservation Commission counts, since 1973, approximately 200 local landmarks in South Bend and St. Joseph County and 9 local historic districts. The Osceola count is exact and is the point of the article: a name search of the whole county list for "Osceola" returns zero — no property or district in the incorporated town has ever been listed. The single Penn Township entry in the entire list stands south of Mishawaka, on the township's own ground but not the town's: the Mishawaka Reservoir Caretaker's Residence, 16581 Chandler Boulevard, listed 14 August 1998 (reference 98001053). The town's designation record is therefore a counted zero at the federal level and a counted zero locally, printed beside the county's 102 and 200 so the zero borrows nothing and hides nothing.
