Overview

This historic stone church was built in 1888 and remains a substantial, standout structure with an unmistakable legacy feel. The property is presented as a distinctive space for potential reuse beyond a traditional house of worship, with the existing building serving as the core improvement.

Located in downtown South Bend, the building is across from the courthouse and down the street from the County City Building. It is also described as being in view of Aloft Hotel, placing it within a mixed civic and hospitality setting.

The listing emphasizes the building’s historic designation, and notes that it may qualify the buyer for tax deductions for improvement expenses. For buyers and operators looking for a character-rich conversion opportunity, this property is marketed as a fit for ideas such as a restaurant, entertainment or event venue, retail, co-work or office use, art gallery, museum, or community-focused space. Prospective buyers should review the available program and requirements associated with historic designation when planning their renovation and operating concept.
