Around the symbolic lodge the record reached seats, in South Bend, the Scottish Rite's full local architecture. The Valley of South Bend of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, works from the Masonic Temple at 427 N Main St, and its four bodies are named in its own record: the South Bend Lodge of Perfection (4th–14th degrees); the Zerubbabel Council, Princes of Jerusalem (15th–16th); the John Hazen White Chapter of Rose Croix (17th–18th); and the South Bend Consistory (the degrees to the 32nd). The temple that houses the valley was new when its descriptive booklet was published about 1926 (Indiana Memory / Michiana Memory record) — the appendant bodies' permanent South Bend seat, a generation after Howard. The row's York Rite asks are only part-dug, and the gap is named rather than filled: the Royal Arch chapter seated for this ground, and the explanation of its two numbers (a chapter's number under an early charter and its later number, the usual reason a chapter carries two) — that explanation is the floor's pattern, not a verified local fact: no Grand Chapter of Indiana record reached verifies the local chapter's numbers, and the commandery's seat and date — including when it sits across the river, in the neighbouring city's temple — are likewise unreached. Named gap (in part): the Royal Arch chapter's name and two numbers, and the commandery's record, for this ground. Their settling sources are the Grand Chapter of Indiana and Grand Commandery of Indiana proceedings. The Eastern Star stands in the same posture: no chapter record for this ground was reached, and the Grand Chapter of Indiana, Order of the Eastern Star, records are its settler. 130, F.&A.M. — the county's east-side mother lodge of the floor — is attested in the Tribune's own columns holding a public installation of its 2006 officers on 21 December 2006, its temple styled Mishawaka Masonic Temple #130; its 1852 charter line remains settled by the Grand Lodge directory, as the banked gap already provides. No appendant body of any rite seats in Osceola or Penn Township in the record reached.
