SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - A deal was reached on Thursday to sell a landmark in South Bend’s River Park neighborhood.
The old Fire Station #9 on Mishawaka Avenue dates back to 1926. Attempts to sell the firehouse at the time drew little interest.
But on Thursday, the city approved a deal to sell the property for $40,000.
The buyer, James Lyden, will spend at least $250,000 on improvements over the next 24 months. Lyden plans to create office space for small growing businesses and said he was happy to participate in Mishawaka Avenue’s momentum.
