Famous Locations — the boundary stated first, then every test at its true size
The boundary, stated once, plainly, at the top
LEG 28 · ITEM 1 · RUN B #140 · THE LEG'S HEAD
The world-famous site that shadows this ground stands outside it, and this section claims it at boundary size and no larger: the University of Notre Dame campus — the Golden Dome, the stadium, the basilica, the grotto — stands at…
Every world-known site individually, with its fame mechanism stated
LEG 28 · ITEM 2 · RUN B #141 · AT BOUNDARY SIZE — THE SEAT IS NOTRE DAME'S
Five sites carry the campus's fame, and each is famous by a different mechanism; the mechanisms, not the postcards, are the record: The Golden Dome is famous as an icon — the gold-leafed dome of the Main Building, crowned by a…
Industrial fame on the ground: the proving ground, the sign written for airplanes — and this ground's unfamous mill seat
LEG 28 · ITEM 4 · RUN B #142
The county's industrial fame has one great ground, and it is a test track in the county's northwest: in 1926 the Studebaker Corporation bought some 850 acres (the Register nomination and one carrier give 840) near New Carlisle…
The Register test run whole: one Landmark in the county's west, one listing in the township, none in the town
LEG 28 · ITEM 5 · RUN B #143 · NATIONAL REGISTER / NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK TEST
The checklist asks for the Landmark houses at Register size, not inflated — and running the test for this ground first requires saying where the Landmark actually stands: St. Joseph County carries 102 properties and districts on…
Fame's forwarding addresses: the buildings famous uses left behind
LEG 28 · ITEM 6 · RUN B #144
A departed institution leaves a building, and the building becomes a location in its own right — this ground's forwarding addresses are a schoolhouse, a plat, and (at the boundary) a hall: Osceola's clearest forwarding address is…
The screen test, run both ways: what cameras shot here, and the famous film this town is credited for but did not host
LEG 28 · ITEM 7 · RUN B #145 · SEARCHES SHOWN
The test was run in both directions, and for this ground both directions come back negative — which is the finding, printed with its searches: Positive direction — what cameras actually shot in Osceola or Penn Township. Searched…
The saved-for-a-dollar test: the Morris at the boundary, and no rescued building on this ground
LEG 28 · ITEM 9 · RUN B #146
The pattern's building stands in South Bend, and its rescue is documented to the dollar: the Palace Theatre — opened 1922, built for $1 million by the Palace Theatre Corporation of Chicago to J. S. Aroner's design, a vaudeville…
Sporting fame on working ground: the trials course and the voted ballpark, both at the boundary
LEG 28 · ITEM 10 · RUN B #147 · VERIFIED AS OF NOVEMBER 2026
The county's sporting fame stands on two working grounds in South Bend, each famous by a verdict rendered elsewhere: the East Race Waterway — a 1,900-foot artificial whitewater course built in a re-dug nineteenth-century mill…
Fame without a findable ground, printed as such: the 1903 dam and the 1833 mill
LEG 28 · ITEM 11 · RUN B #148 · THE BENDIX FIELD TEST, APPLIED AND CORRECTED
Some famous things have no ground you can stand on, and the honest treatment is to print them as unfindable rather than to invent them a site: this ground holds two. The first is the 1903 Baugo Bay dam : the bay's creation is…
