Round The Bend Now & Then: The Beiger Mansion
About this episode
Local historian Matt Emery discusses the history and significance of the Beiger Mansion in Mishawaka.
Local Michiana historian, Matt Emery, gives incredible insight to the places we walk by, drive by, and see every day! This week he shares all about the gorgeous Beiger Mansion in Mishawaka! While Beiger is a common name you might hear in Michiana, Martin was known for the Mishawaka Woolen and Rubber Manufacturing Company, which became the Ball Band Rubber Company. With his mass fortune, he built a stunning mansion, but unfortunately died before it was even completed! The history will tell that when Susie Beiger died, she made sure the mansion was a place where elderly women had a place to call home, where all of their needs were met with security and dignity. The following years would lead to a sale of the mansion, and even a fire that nearly destroyed this local treasure. We appreciate all that Matt does to preserve and share in the history of this wonderful place we call home! To find out more, check out Round the Bend Now & Then on Facebook !
