"Mim's Bar" used to occupy the downstairs. Do you think Buick LaCrosses are beautiful?

A funfact about this building from my family history: In 1966 my parents met and fell in love when they were trapped in the upstairs apartment with several other people for an entire night. Their romance didn't last but here I am!

Join me on my journey of ONLINE RESEARCH:

• The Elkhart County government says the building was erected in 1967. That seems reasonable for the end portions but not the central portion with the rounded corner. Hardly anybody was spending money on rounded corners in the late 1960s.

• Plus there's this postcard for sale which shows the building as the "Indiana Associated Telephone Corporation." The postcard looks like it's from before the 1960s. Moreover, a 1962 newspaper article reprinted at this blog asserts that the Indiana Associated Telephone Corporation changed its name to General Telephone Company of Indiana, Inc., in 1952.

• According to my online review of Polk city directories of the city of Elkhart at the library edition of Ancestry.com, a funeral home was located at this site in 1945, and the Indiana Associated Telephone Corporation was located here in 1947.

• Therefore I hereby assert that the central portion of this building was probably erected sometime between 1945 and 1947; and that at least one of the wings was probably added in 1967. Voilà!

Virginia Ledge stone veneer is derived from Quick Stack stone and contains a combination of 2" and 4" stones which make the panels very hard to detect. The thickness of Virginia Ledge stone veneer varies from 1" to 3" creating a dramatically rugged look. The color used on this stone is Cape Cod Grey.
