[Has the neighborhood already become gentrified like the area around Union Station in Chicago, or are they counting on it?]
Ry Meyer: It is in the worst location for overnight parking in the city of South Bend. Indiana license branch was moved out because the drinkers and drug addicts were harassing customers getting licenses and other required services.

It opened in 1929 and served the New York Central and Grand Trunk Western railroads.

Rod Durbin posted five photos with the comment: "Opened in 1929 and situated across the tracks from the Studebaker auto plant, the building served the New York Central Railroad and Grand Trunk Western Railroad. The last trains departed in 1971 when newly created Amtrak moved its operations to the South Shore Line station on the city's western outskirts. In November 2019, the South Bend Tribune, the city's 147-year-old daily newspaper, moved its offices into Union Station Technology Center."
