It has 40 rooms (including a ball room, library and billiard room) and 20 fireplaces. It now houses one of South Bend’s finest restaurants and event venues—Tippecanoe Place. Clement Studebaker hired Henry Cobb in 1885 to design and plan an impressive family home, which, when completed was over 24,000 square feet. Clement took residence in the mansion in 1888 and enjoyed living in Tipp ecanoe until his death in 1901. His widow continued to live in the mansion, passing it on to their son, George in 1916, who subsequently lost the building during the great depression. The building was purchased in 1941 by E.M. Morris who donated it to the City of South Bend. It then served as a school for handicapped children, and during World War II it served as the Red Cross Headquarters. After the war, it continued as a school for handicapped children. In the early 1970s the mansion served as an administration building for South Bend Schools. In the mid-1970s it was presented to the local preservation organization, Southhold Restoration. After restoration efforts, Southhold sold the property to Continental Restaurant Systems, a division of Ralston Purina, which in 1979/1980 converted the building into its current state: The Tippecanoe Place Restaurant, one of South Bend’s most elegant dining establishments. The versatile unparalleled character of the property creates a one of a kind event and dining experience. The sprawling grounds compliment the stately interior while also allowing for unique outdoor dining and special events. The building is the only building in St. Joseph County on the National Historic Registry as a National Historic Landmark.

    Community Focus – South Bend Inventive Growth South Bend Developing a High-tech Future By Candace Gwaltney nnovation is more than a buzzword for the city of South Bend. It’s part of its history and culture. As home to the University of Notre Dame and other higher education institutions, the city produces countless original thinkers and inventors. Historically, the Industrial Revolution led to new inventions from local giants The Studebaker Automobile Company and the Oliver Chilled Plow Works. I Now, South Bend is preparing to experience a new revolution – one defined by scientific discovery, new technology and, of course, innovation. The city, universities and industries are working together to make South Bend a vibrant center for discovery. Transforming ideas into commerce The state’s fourth largest city will open its first certified technology park, called Innovation Park at Notre Dame, this fall. The three-story, 54,000-square-foot facility will be adjacent to the university. A second tech park, known as Ignition Park, will be located at the former Studebaker factory site. While the two parks will work closely together, they each serve a different purpose, says Dave Brenner, president and CEO of Innovation Park. Innovation Park will serve as a transitional space as researchers and entrepreneurs transform ideas into commercial applications. The City of South Bend is Ignition Park will serve as a landing space for these newly developed companies. Innovation Park exploring ways to streamline and prioritize services as it faces is owned by Notre Dame, while Ignition Park is owned by the city of South Bend.
